I've been trying to buy less yarn, because I started feeling self-conscious about how fast I was burning through it. I don't actually want to stop making things, because it's really good for my head. So my gf and I picked out a few older pieces I'd made when I was learning, and started unpicking.
(Context is that I was an Executive Assistant for 5yrs, which means I was organizing team away days rather than children's parties, but same difference. And it's really striking how someone pick a list of tasks to automate presumably because they are too out of touch to notice that they are hard.)
First sweater destruction has been a success! Yarn washed really well, is knitting beautifully, looks like new. I think I'll definitely remake a few more pieces. We're not wearing them anyway, because they have some learner's mistakes.
I could be way off, because I know nothing about these people and I don't care to find out, but why does that list of things people want to fence off to AI sound like something someone would give a Personal Assistant to do? Presumably people in power already don't do those things.
The idea that generative AI (or even a human who isn't as familiar with the person) could complete that list of tasks well without COPIOUS detail and context is laughable. A good PA just makes it look easy. It's not. Those are very complex tasks.
Since they don't do them, they don't know how complicated they can be, how much time they actually take, and just how much context they require before they're done well. The PA is able to plan the 5yo's birthday party because they listen to their boss talk about that kid here and there.
