My life experience is that this represents modestly something north of 90% of the population. Most people are not as self motivated as HN crowd is. My cynic wants to say 99.9% Which is how I know its marketing. Its for people that fancy themselves as something they are not. IE fantasizing.

Its like all those commercials where the "boss" strolls in points to some vaguely business looking stuff and everyone runs off to work then the "boss" character goes to the beach or something. Its a fantasy sales pitch in other words. Work one minute a day and be rich.

I guess I'm getting off track which is not how AI helps workflow but that all this stuff we are seeing is marketing and there is little tangible evidence that AI helps enable the workflow you are referencing.
