Andrew Chen's hot take: AI is great at your job, terrible at your life
Andrew Chen dropped a viral thread arguing AI has quietly taken over office work (forms, boilerplate, status updates) while barely denting consumer apps like social, dating, and entertainment. His theory: work is full of repetitive drudgery AI happily eats, but consumer attention runs on novelty and authenticity, so AI just spits out detectable, pattern-matched "slop" that kills the vibe. He calls it "adversarial creativity", the reason AI cold emails and AI influencers feel instantly fake.
Turns out robots are great at paperwork and terrible at being interesting, which honestly tracks.
