The future is very unpredictable, but what can definitely be predicted is this: lazy people will be replaced by AI. I used to procrastinate until the very last moment. I lived by the flyby sound of deadlines.

Procrastination happens for many reasons, maybe you’re really good at what you do and there’s no need to rush. Maybe you get paid by the hour you spend. Or because of imposter syndrome. Or simply, we’re lazy and don’t feel the rush. I’ve done it. I don’t think I’m the only unicorn here.

As a tech product manager, my day job is to help corporations automate their business. I’ve been automating since I was in 8th grade, 13 years old. It was my dad’s business, but that demands a video of its own.

People get bored with repetition. When you have to do the same thing over and over, it’s boring. People also get bored when it doesn’t align with their vision. Or when it doesn’t create the impact they want to create. And there are hundreds more reasons.

Buuuut…

In every part of life and business, there are boring parts and processes. The daily grind is boring. Ideas, strategy, planning, that’s sexy. But the actual doing, and continuing to keep doing it… it’s boring. These boring bits and pieces are the very fabric of our life and society that keep us moving forward.

If we get bored of boring stuff, we’ll stagnate pretty quickly. And guess what, who doesn’t get bored? Machines. AI. They show up every day. They’re not perfect, definitely not greater than me, but despite their imperfection, they do what’s required. Day in, day out.

And AI is coming for the boring parts. It will replace those who get bored easily.

I blogged when it was a thing. It did well in its prime, but I got bored when the going got tough. I founded a food delivery startup before DoorDash was a household name, got bored when a few investors said no. I did 20 other different things, and when the going got tedious, I got bored.

Even this channel, I planned to start it a year ago. But I kept planning, because writing, filming, editing every day is tedious. It takes time, resources, and doesn’t pat you on the back for doing what’s needed. And it’s boring.

AI and machine learning are already automating the boring parts of our lives. If we get bored of our creative pursuits, it’ll automate that as well.

And the choice is yours: do you want to consume AI slop, or create something?
