8 unexpected dynamics of working with AI daily: review fatigue, self-automation, and taking tasks on credit

A Redditor shares 8 rarely-discussed dynamics from daily AI work: the ping-pong attention rhythm replacing linear focus; multi-minute execution waits shattering flow; the exhausting cognitive burden of reviewing for hallucinations; the fear-driven automation loop where you optimize yourself out of your own job; becoming an AI orchestrator instead of a creator; committing to tasks "on credit" beyond your competence; trading craft for scale while losing grasp of the underlying mechanics—and the upside: stop overengineering prompts, talk to AI conversationally with speech-to-text and natural context, and give it harder problems than you think it can handle.
