    I’m not sure if I’m reading your intent correctly or not, but the AI agents actually excel at “puddle jumper” tasks. Stupid stuff that you could write a one-off script for, but damn that’s a lot of hassle. This afternoon a colleague and I were putting together a powerpoint slide deck based on a folder full of disorganized garbage. Claude digested the garbage and wrote a python script that wrote the .pdf and I’d swear it took almost as long to open Office 365 Power Point as it did for Claude to write the script that wrote the 7 slide .ppt file.

        Yeah, and that has been true of “modern tools” since forever. Somebody picks up a chainsaw - looks easy…
