Agents write me tens of thousands of words daily — humans manage only hundreds

Edgar Pavlovsky shares a striking observation: his AI agents produce tens of thousands of words addressed to him every day, while his human friends and coworkers write only hundreds in the same timeframe — roughly a 100x gap.
His point: humans are still far more efficient communicators than agents. Raw word volume doesn't translate into effective communication, and the gap matters even more given how much more complex human relationships are. A useful lens for anyone designing agent output and reporting flows.
