The author points out that people severely underestimate how easy it is to automate PC tasks with AI today. You can simply describe your needs in natural language (e.g., open the browser at 8 AM daily, check specific sites, save results, and send a notification), and AI will write the corresponding Python automation script for you.
From browser control and scheduled tasks to file management, no programming background is needed to turn a PC into a personal automation machine.
