AI makes it easier than ever to produce things quickly, but it also creates a subtle trap: confusing activity with progress.
More output doesn’t automatically mean better thinking.

What skill have you developed in the last five years?

Another week, another discussion, maybe lets talk about LLM with general blog text? Or how to use a tool as a tool? Or try to expose some more contradictions?

AI won't always make you faster

2025년 연구들에 따르면 AI는 초보자의 생산성을 크게 향상시키지만, 경험 많은 전문가에게는 오히려 작업 속도를 늦추고 품질 저하를 초래할 수 있다. AI는 빠른 생산을 가능하게 하지만, 판단과 도메인 지식이 부족하면 오히려 업무 부담과 실수가 증가한다. 핵심은 AI가 결과물을 생성하는 능력은 뛰어나지만, 이를 평가하고 적절히 활용하는 인간의 경험과 판단력이 생산성 향상의 진정한 열쇠라는 점이다. 따라서 AI는 전문성을 증폭시키는 도구이며, 경험 없는 사용자는 AI의 한계로 인해 오히려 비효율을 겪을 수 있다.

Most companies are still treating AI like a demo booth.

The real product is the build room: data access, permissions, workflow, audit trails, human approval, and maintenance.

That is where AI becomes useful work.

LLMs excel at mimicking knowledge work—polished grammar, perfect formatting—but that doesn’t guarantee accuracy or depth. When we reward surface traits, we risk mistaking fluency for understanding. The result? A growing gap between appearance and substance in professional output. #knowledgework #artificialintelligence

Codex는 지식 업무용, Claude는 창의적 작업용으로 구분해 활용하는 'Agents for Everything Else'라는 AI 에이전트 활용 관점을 소개한 뉴스다. 생성형 AI를 업무 유형별로 나눠 쓰는 흐름을 보여주는 주목할 만한 업계 동향이다.

Every project management tool descends from Frederick Taylor's factory floor — the guy who said the ideal worker should "more nearly resemble in his mental make-up the ox than any other type."

The interface got prettier. The assumption didn't change.

If you're moving cards across columns and updating status fields, that's not work.
