I'm looking for an AI to take dictation for my texts, to write a book faster!

AI promises productivity at a scale we have never seen before. You can create faster, plan faster, and execute faster than ever. But faster is not always better. When productivity becomes the goal, we risk missing the point. The goal is not to produce more, it is to produce meaningfully.And AI is showing us that productivity is not about volume, it is about value. The next era of productivity is not measured in how much we can do, but in how clearly we can think about what we are doing. ---- The Old Definition of Productivity ---- For decades, productivity was defined by efficiency. How much output could you produce with a given amount of time or energy. It was about throughput, quantity, speed, and optimization. That model made sense in an industrial world, where repetition and consistency created value. But AI has changed the equation. It no longer rewards those who can simply produce more. It rewards those who can decide what actually matters. The people who thrive with AI are not those creating the most output. They are the ones creating the most alignment between output and intention. Imagine someone in real estate using AI to generate listings, emails, and social posts. They might triple their volume overnight, but if none of it deepens trust or connects with their ideal clients, it is just noise at scale. AI exposes a truth that was always there. More is not more. Better thinking is. ---- The New Definition: Thinking as the Multiplier ---- If productivity used to be about execution, AI shifts it toward cognition. Your thinking becomes the highest leverage skill. AI can now handle the heavy lifting of drafting, formatting, or summarizing. That means your advantage no longer comes from how fast you can type, but how deeply you can see. In this new model, productivity is about the quality of the prompts you give, the clarity of the context you define, and the discernment you bring to the results. 1. Better questions lead to better answers. 2. Clearer context leads to smarter systems. 3. Intentional direction leads to meaningful outcomes.

I know I said I was done posting for this year… but this one I couldn’t let slide 😄 Lately I keep seeing people proudly selling “vibe coding”: “I’ll code your OS / brand / life based on your vibe, not boring logic.” Fun idea on the surface. Terrifying if that system is actually going to touch real people, real data, or a brain that’s already under stress. If you’ve seen my earlier posts, you know I’m in a different camp: • Guardrails 101 (checklist, not vibes) • AI Safety for Non-Tech Builders (driver’s ed, not magic) • Nightmare Scenario Drill (worst case, owner, kill switch) • Emotional Guardrails for Overthinkers (DM safety check) This “vibe coding” trend sits in the opposite corner: ✨ “Trust me, I’ll tune the energy.” 🧠 “Don’t worry too much about the boring details.” 🚫 No mention of: • security • data boundaries • failure modes • what happens if the user is not ok That’s fine for pure art experiments. It’s not fine when you’re building OS-style systems for humans, especially: • people with burnout, grief, ADHD, trauma • tools that shape their decisions, messages, or relationships • flows that have access to files, inboxes, or accounts If someone is selling you “vibe-coded prompts” or “I’ll wire your entire OS to your vibe,” at minimum, ask them: 1. Security & data What data will your system touch? Where does it go? Who can see it? How do you protect keys, accounts, and sensitive info? 2. Failure modes What’s the worst thing this setup could do if it misfires? Who is responsible if it breaks? Is there a kill switch? 3. User state What happens if the user is sleep-deprived, grieving, manic, overloaded? Does this OS slow them down when they’re spiraling, or accelerate the spiral? Because for my niche, this is non-negotiable: I build for people whose brains are already carrying extra weight. ADHD, overload, grief, money stress, family stuff. For them, AI must be a brake + safety net, not just a vibe amplifier. Vibes are great for brainstorming.
