Lack of automation AROUND AI kills generative AI gains
The deeper and more serious I am getting into personal AI, the more obvious it has become to me that handling the more stuff I am generating with AI is eaten up by its administration: faster reporting gets more reports. Greater access to information results in more information to tag, archive, describe, organize, handle... so that it is not lost after a few months. More files. Bloated Databases. Many different AI and non-AI systems to feed. And all this meta-level stuff cannot be optimized by AI because it's all about NEW creative stuff, projects, organizations, etc. AI has no role model it could have learned from, and it's not the kind of CONSISTENT and STRUCTURED data current AI can learn from at all. So, finally, I ended up with more that has taken a lot of additional time to keep it actionable and relevant for the long run. Or to put it bluntly, this increased productivity on single tasks did not earn me a dime. Not by money, but even worse - not by time, because all these gains were immediately eaten up on the meta-level where the "more" cannot be absorbed the old way. When just parts of the overall-supply-chain is on warp speed, your business is not, as overall delivery speed is still defined by the slowest link. So, I have put my focus on the "classy" automation of everything AROUND AI output, starting with CopyQ Clipboard -Manager, which has turned whatever I copy from AI output into a real-time dispatching and journaling machine that automates the "post-production" handling of AI generated output - and here is the banana- I do this kind of automation the old way. Not AI, but classy automation stuff. And only THIS has turned my AI-supported production stuff into a real powerhouse. If we just create more AI output that doesn't AUTOMATICALLY show up in and work towards its final pay-channel, we are not there. We are just bloating parts of the machine, but not production as such. However, making such full automation a reality, is according to me, still old-school automation business that is not learned over the weekend.
