What heavy AI users actually do: progressively replacing themselves
danfaggella · x · 2026-08-27
Daniel Faggella and his quoted thread lay out three steps of leaning into AI at work: delegate everything possible to machines (effectively training AIs all day), throw yourself at the not-yet-AI-able parts until AI catches up, and ultimately replace yourself as an input to the system entirely.
Some enter AI for pleasure, he argues, but many do so for power and to maintain relevance — the opposite of the 'lotus eater' path.
