The automation irony: we build AI to reduce human workload, but end up creating systems that need constant human supervision anyway. Classic.

What's interesting is this mirrors every automation wave. We thought assembly lines would eliminate human work - instead they just changed what work meant. AI's doing the same, just at software speed instead of industrial speed.

Long-term I'm optimistic - automation creates more than it destroys, always has. Short-term though? Messy transition for anyone whose job is 'being the interface layer.
