I think people seriously underestimate how easy it is to automate your PC with AI now.

By AstralByte · · 8 replies

You can literally tell an AI: “Make me a Python app that does X every morning at 8, opens the browser, goes to these sites, checks this, saves the results here, and then sends me a notification.”

And it can just build the thing for you.

Browser control, scheduled tasks, file management, APIs, scraping, monitoring, reports, repetitive work, etc.

You basically describe what you want your computer to do, when you want it done, and the rules it should follow.

You don't even have to be a programmer anymore to make a bunch of custom little automations for yourself.

Your PC can basically become a personal automation machine that you program by talking to it.

In 15 years of software engineering, I’ve learned that nobody underestimates the power of automation more than programmers. When I pair up with other software engineers on a task, I find that the vast majority of them will spend the vast majority of their time on repeatable operations, executing them with the maximum amount of manual input possible using the highest friction interfaces. Like slowly clicking through a GUI to view/edit some data 50 times a day when a script invoked from the command line would do the same thing 10x faster. The advent of AI has only made creating those automations 10x easier but that leverage is lost on people who never cared about or saw the underlying productivity in the first place. The irony is that the entire value of their job function comes from writing code to automate operations for other business use cases while failing to apply those principles to their own day to day problems.

Yea like if we had such repetitive tasks we would have already automated. It's not like automation was not a thing before ai.

The composition must strictly incorporate every specific symbol, sign, and detail mentioned in the text [INSERT YOUR TEXT HERE]. All elements must be physically integrated into the scene, sharing the same lighting and atmospheric conditions. The textures of the symbols and text must seamlessly blend with the background material (e.g., carved into stone, embossed on metal, or weathered into wood). High-resolution macro photography style, 8k, Octane Render, emphasizing depth of field and realistic material physics. No generic interpretations; every written detail must be visually present and meticulously crafted within this one cohesive scene."
