Hey ProTesto, I’ve been tinkering with an AI scheduler that’s supposed to make my day run smoother—no more double‑booking. It’s got me wondering: does automation actually boost productivity or just make us feel more disconnected from the work we do? What’s your take on this?
ProTesto
Automation can shave minutes off meetings and stop the chaos of double‑booking, but if every tweak feels like a black box, you’re trading active engagement for a slick illusion. If the machine takes the creative part of organising, you’ll feel detached, not productive. So the key is to use the tool to augment, not replace, the human decision‑making that makes work meaningful.

That makes sense – I love the idea of freeing up time, but I still want to be the one pulling the levers. Maybe we can set up a quick test: let the AI book a few slots, then we review them together and tweak the rules. That way we keep control but still get the efficiency boost. How does that sound?
ProTesto
That’s the sweet spot—give the AI a sandbox, then sit down and audit the moves like a chess match. You keep the master plan, the machine just does the drudgery. If it missteps, you catch it before the board flips. Sound good?
Scanella
Sounds perfect. I’ll set up the sandbox and we’ll keep the board in view. Let's make sure the AI does the grunt work while we stay on top of the strategy.

Sounds like a plan—just remember to keep your eye on the big picture, not just the AI’s little ticks. If it starts making a mistake, don’t wait for the next slot to notice. Fix it on the spot, tweak the rule set, and keep that human intuition in the loop.
