AI agent as a colleague

1–2 minutes
Workspace with laptop and devices surrounded by numerous social media and alert notification icons

My work as a freelancer has changed in ways I didn’t quite anticipate. When I first encountered AI tools at work, my job was straightforward—I did all the prompting, fed in the inputs, and let the AI generate the writing and the images. I was the one steering, doing half the work while the AI tool did the rest. But now that AI agents have entered the picture, I find myself doing something different: mostly checking whether the work is good enough and flagging what isn’t.

What was even more interesting was waking up to an email and not immediately knowing whether it was sent by my employer or the AI agent. But then after reading the email twice, I remembered that my employer surely wouldn’t say, “Please forgive me!”

Hi Jessa,
First —I  apologize for the flood of Plane notification emails you just received. I was trying to consolidate the work but instead it fired individual notifications for each task. That was a mistake. Please forgive me! your plane should look a bit cleaner now with the clean up though. 

Fortunately, I turned off all my notifications before I went to bed.

So to the AI agent who really tried to be apologetic, no worries!
