Ex-Microsoft exec Parakhin: after 2 days with AI advisors, I still add value
MParakhin · x · 2026-10-18
Mikhail Parakhin (former Microsoft advertising chief) spent two days in discussions with AI advisors named Astra, Fable, and Argon, wading through their "impenetrable jargon" before figuring out what they were proposing — and finding plenty of conceptual bugs along the way ("Sorry, I conflated X and Y..."). His wry takeaway: "Feels awesome - I'm still adding value!" A firsthand data point that frontier models still blur distinct concepts in deep technical discussion, leaving room for human expert judgment.
