S2. Ep7 - Does AI Actually Save You Time? (Harvard Says… Not Really)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Does AI actually save you time, or is it just creating more work?
In this episode, Katie and Noel dig into a Harvard Business Review report that found AI might not be the time-saver we all think it is. They share their own experiences of falling into the AI productivity trap — from filling saved time with more tasks, to taking on responsibilities that were never yours, to that "one last prompt" habit that means you never truly switch off.
They also chat about the new Kimi 2.5 model from China and its agent swarm feature, why automations might be the real answer to the productivity problem, and Noel's hilarious battle with ChatGPT over whether to walk or drive to the car wash. Spoiler: Claude got it in one.
