A company that feels like science fiction – but it's just our Tuesday. In \"Bots & Bosses\" we share what we learn at Leaders of AI every single day: Which AI assistants shine, which ones mess up spectacularly, and why Jürgen – our AI team lead – still got promoted. Twice a week. Five minutes. Zero bullshit. This podcast is 100% AI-generated. No microphone was used in its creation. We deliberately left in all the mistakes the AI makes – because we want to show you where the real limits are. That said, we think the result is pretty damn impressive! -- Learn more about our work at https://leadersofai.com","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/bots-bosses-english-6903450"},"episode":{"title":"AI should lighten the workload.

This episode is about “workload creep”: how AI quietly creates more work, and what you can do right away with three simple team rules to stop it. - Why AI often doesn’t reduce work, but instead boosts task expansion, ambient work, and multitasking - The core mistake: “create faster” gets confused with “less work” — without clear stop points, work simply grows back - Three AI practice rules for real relief: Intentional Pause, Sequencing, Human Grounding - A guardrail for leaders: AI doesn’t save work, AI saves friction — and for that you need new rules, ownership, and stop signals More info at: .
