There's a moment when something shifts. At first you're impressed by what AI can do. Showy things. Conversational this, clever that. Cool for a week, then it gets old.
Then one day you just reach for it. Not because it's impressive. Because it's faster. Because it's easier. Because it just works.
That's when it stops being a novelty and starts being a tool.
For me it was writing follow-up emails. Used to stare at a blank page for 10 minutes. Now I dump notes into Claude and get a first draft in 30 seconds. I barely think about it anymore. That's when I knew.
It stopped being "wow, AI can do that" and started being "why would I do it any other way."
When did that shift happen for you? Was it sudden or gradual? Drop it below.
