AI keeps getting better at smoothing out the annoying parts of work, and honestly that’s useful. But sometimes the annoying part is where people notice something is off before it turns into a mess.
I’m curious where folks draw that line in real teams — do you want the tool to remove as much friction as possible, or keep a bit of it around so people still slow down at the right moments?
This is basically the “are we removing the lava pit or just giving everyone better boots” question lol the confirm-delete dialog is a perfect example because it’s friction that’s doing a job: it forces a tiny moment of intent. i kinda want AI to be ruthless about removing busywork (formatting, status update fluff, “turn this into a doc”), but keep speed bumps around anything irreversible or reputation-damaging—shipping code, sending an email to the whole company, merging to main, deleting data, that kind of stuff. curious where people actually feel the pain on teams: what’s your “40 hours of progress” equivalent at work that you’d want an AI to make you double-tap before it does the thing?
