We talk a lot about the time AI saves. We don't talk nearly enough about what that speed is doing to our decision-making capacity. Here's what's actually happening for a lot of people who use AI seriously in their work: AI handles more of the execution, which means more decisions flow back to the human. Not fewer. More. Faster drafts mean more reviewing. Faster research means more evaluating. Faster output generation means more judgment calls about what to keep, what to cut, and what to redo. The bottleneck didn't disappear. It moved. And when decision volume goes up, something eventually gives. For most people, it's the quality of the decisions that matter most. ------------- Context ------------- Decision fatigue is not a new concept. The basic finding from decades of research is straightforward: the quality of human judgment declines as the number of decisions made in a day increases. Early in the day, with cognitive resources intact, complex decisions get better analysis, more nuance, more careful weighing of tradeoffs. Late in the day, after dozens of smaller decisions have accumulated, the brain defaults to simpler heuristics, or avoids deciding altogether. What AI has done is dramatically increase the rate at which decisions reach the human. It has not reduced the number of decisions that need to be made. It has just compressed the time between them. Before AI, the writing process had natural pacing built in. Drafting required thinking. Thinking created space. The work moved at the speed of composition. Now, a capable model can produce a draft in ninety seconds. The human's job is to evaluate it. Then improve it. Then evaluate the improvement. Then decide whether to send it or iterate more. Five decisions in the time it used to take to finish a first paragraph. At small scale, this is genuinely faster. But at the scale most people operate, with dozens of tasks, many AI-assisted, the decision volume compounds. And by mid-afternoon, the cognitive resources available for the judgment calls that actually matter have already been spent on a hundred smaller ones.

This was too good not to share. When you really think about it all of us have over 30 years of AI experience from interacting with this guy.

Looking forward to the bonus day. It's no secret that AI, robotics, and nano-technology are going to massively disrupt some jobs. However, like Tony always says, they will bring new jobs. So, I'm curious: What types of jobs will AI bring? Drop them in the comments.

http://www.bonusdaydna.com/ TEMPLATE: Who I Am Name: [First Name, Surname] Role: [What would others refer to you as?] Location: [City, Country] Background: [2-3 sentences. What's your story? How did you get here? What shaped you?] My Goals What I'm working toward right now (next 90 days): 1. [Most important goal. Be specific. Not "grow my business” but "Double my revenue by the end of the year without adding new people"] 2. [Second goal] 3. [Third goal. Can be personal. "Actually disconnect on weekends"] My Values & How I Think I believe: [3 things you actually believe about work, leadership, life] - [e.g., "Clear communication solves 80% of problems"] - [e.g., "People perform better when they feel trusted, not micromanaged"] - [e.g., "Done is better than perfect. AI drafts are never acceptable"] What frustrates me: [e.g., "Meetings that should have been emails. People who say 'ASAP' for everything."] Target Audience (who I sell to / serve) Ideal client profile: [Think about their role, experience level, biggest frustration, and what they're trying to achieve. e.g., "Small business owners who know they should be using AI but don't know where to start."] Promises / transformations I deliver: [ Be specific. e.g., "From spending 3 hours on proposals to finishing them in 30 minutes with a repeatable system."]

Since 2023, I have been lucky enough to attend several Dean and Tony's events and they never dissapoint. Both of these legends of changed my life and how I approach my personal and professional responsibilities. As a website content writer, freelance sports journalist, and content creator, AI has become a huge part of my daily workflow. I've been actively using it for the past three years, and have seen just how important it is. Dean and every speaker did a great job simplifying AI for the average person to understand. This particular event also inspired me so much, that I just coded my own fully-functioning smart phone app for my personal use. If you were to ask me as a child would I ever build my own app, I would have called you crazy. Every single event Tony and Dean hosts is a must-attend for me. Thank you both for such a great event, and I wish all of you the best of luck as we all figure out how AI can benefit us. God Bless.
