This feels like a symptom of the definition of "real work" changing right in front of us. Some people still use AI like a copilot, cleaning up code here and there, maybe writing functions. And at the right scale, this is genuinely still real work.

Others, especially startups or indie hackers, use AI like it were their end-all be-all assistant. "Hey Jeeves, go add Apple Sign In, Google Sign In to our signup pages. Also, investigate why we're not utilizing cached inputs on our AI APIs correctly. And add Maestro flows for every screen in our app. Btw check out posthog, supabase, and Stripe - is our new agent changing engagement or trial->paid conversion rates?"

And 3 hours later, you have all these done. But only if you use the right multi trillion param models.
