Rhea, your last paragraph truly struck a chord with me: 'AI isn't going to eliminate human effort. It will elevate our potential by allowing us to focus on tasks that we find most rewarding and where our contribution is uniquely valued. The horizon of effort isn't just shifting. It's rising.' I couldn’t agree more, and this has been my lived experience over the past six months.

AI has completely transformed how I work and think—not by reducing my effort but by redirecting it to what I love most and do best. It’s allowed me to focus on deep thinking, strategy, and creativity in ways I couldn’t have imagined before. I’ve seen this shift not just in my own life but also in the lives of friends who have embraced AI as a tool for growth and alignment.

This is the story I want to help others understand: AI isn’t about doing less—it’s about doing better. Thank you for articulating this so beautifully. Your insights have added depth and clarity to a perspective I’m deeply passionate about sharing

Rhea, an excellent piece that reduced my stress levels as I navigate the ethics of writing with AI. The Betty Crocker effect was the perfect metaphor to help me understand how to do better not less.
Time for some cake!!

It’s no surprise you enjoy “finding the right metaphors.” You absolutely nailed it with the Betty Crocker Effect reference!
