Ep 111 - The Execution Paradox: Why using AI doesn't make the work any less yours

Episode Summary In this episode, Cary talks about the difference between work that is created by AI and work that is executed by AI. He shares a personal example of using Claude to take his own recorded thoughts, pull the transcript from Descript, shape it into an article using his own writing rules and style, and prepare it in WordPress for review. His point is simple: the idea, thinking, voice, and final judgment are still his. AI is just helping shrink the "busy middle" so more time can go toward the valuable human part of the work. 3 Key Takeaways There's a big difference between "created by AI" and "executed by AI." Cary makes the case that using AI to carry out your own process does not make the work any less yours. AI can help shrink the "busy middle." The repetitive, tedious, time-consuming parts of a project can drain energy away from the final polish, where your real expertise matters most. Your ideas, voice, and judgment still matter. Cary's example shows AI being used as a tool to organize, draft, and move work forward based on resources, rules, and thinking he already created.
