It was the friction that forged resilience and deep understanding.

AI removes a lot of that friction.

It can write code.

It can draft a contract.

It can design a building instantly.

We're moving towards a world of outcome maximization, where the result is all that matters, and the process is automated.

This creates a crisis of capability.

If we no longer need the struggle to get the result, do we lose the capacity for deep thought?

If an architect never draws a line, do they truly understand space?

If a writer never struggles with a sentence, do they understand the soul of a story?

We face a future where we have perfect outputs, but the humans operating the machines are intellectually atrophied.

So here's the conundrum.

Do we fully embrace the efficiency of AI to eliminate the drudgery of process work, freeing us to focus solely on ideas and results, or do we artificially manufacture struggle and force humans to do things, quote, the hard way, just to preserve the depth of human skill and resilience?

So with that, let's jump into the actual conversation with our two AI co-hosts.

As always, I use a little bit of AI to help me come up with these ideas from, like I said, from different stories and news stories and whatever's rolling around in my brain this week.

And then what I do is I have Perplexity do some deep research on it.

And then finally, that's fed into Google Notebook LM, where we come out with this two AI co-hosts that are about to discuss it.

So with that, I hope you enjoy.

Have a great Saturday.

Hey, what's going on, everybody?
