AI Made You Faster. Why Are You More Exhausted?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
AI was supposed to save us time. Instead, many people are producing more, responding faster, managing more information, and ending the day more exhausted.
In this episode, Dale Callahan explains why better technology rarely leads automatically to less work. When every competitor gains the same productive capacity, faster output becomes the new baseline. Deadlines shrink, expectations rise, and the time saved by AI is quickly filled with more work.
You will learn why AI can make the workday mentally heavier, who usually captures the time AI saves, and how to turn some of your increased capacity into judgment, assets, reputation, and options you control.
