alt Hacker NewsCan humans do nothing now? Is it harder to organise your desktop? I thought Apple already organises them into stacks. (edit: Apple already does this)
Is it that hard to check your calendar? Also feels insincere to have a meeting of say 30 mins to show a claude made deck that you did it in 4 seconds.

You can still do all these things manually. Now you just have the option not to.
I don’t think this is for _hard_ things but rather for repetitive tasks, or tasks where a human would bring no value. I’ve used Claude for Chrome to search for stays in Airbnb for example; something that is not hard but takes a lot of time to do by hand when you have some precise requirements.
It’s not that insincere if all the other attendees are just meeting-taking robots the end result of which will be an automated “summary of the meeting I attended for you” :)
How many people join meetings these days just to zone out and wait for the AI-produced summary at the end?
Agree. Seems to me that if you need something like this to automate your workflow; it's your workflow that needs to change.
