How AI Is Transforming the Tedious
When contemplating the promise of AI, like many, my thoughts veer towards the innovative, groundbreaking prospects. However, an integral yet frequently underestimated facet of AI deserves our attention: its exceptional capacity to handle and revolutionise dull, tedious tasks. In this sphere, AI isn't just an incremental improvement - it's a paradigm shift with boundless potential.
An insightful paper ‘Experimental Evidence on the Productivity Effects of Generative Artificial Intelligence’ recently published by MIT studied the effect of ChatGPT on work tasks. The study highlighted the profound benefits AI can provide in mundane work tasks. By implementing ChatGPT, work time decreased by 40% and the work's quality rose by 18% compared to human-only efforts.
Interestingly, while the use of AI sparked some job insecurity, it significantly boosted workers' overall happiness. The reason is simple: AI handles the monotonous, dull work quickly and efficiently.
Historic and Future Waves of Automation
This phenomenon isn't novel. Traditional automation has always aimed to eradicate repetitive, often hazardous, and generally uninteresting work. From factory workers to miners, automated tools have transformed a multitude of jobs. Unlike these specific tools, however, AI isn't custom-built to replace any task. Instead, it's a multifaceted tool, handling a myriad of tasks with varying degrees of proficiency.
This broad applicability of AI allows us to automate specific tasks, helping us streamline our work. The role of a Marketing Manager for instance, is a composite of numerous tasks. With AI, some of these dull yet crucial tasks can be automated, allowing more time and energy for the more engaging, rewarding aspects of the job.
Tackling the Tedious: Practical Applications of AI
In everyday tasks, AI can be a major asset. It can assist in creating financial models, gathering images for presentations, filling out complex paperwork, and rewriting documents for different audiences. These time-consuming, relatively low-value tasks can be handled efficiently by AI, allowing individuals to focus on the tasks that demand their expertise and creativity.
Some of my favourite examples of monotonous work I now get AI to do are:
Creating transcriptions and auto summarising my meetings notes and action items.
Cleansing and cleaning up data with ChatGPT Code Interpreter.
Drafting email responses automatically in Superhuman.
AI: The Antidote to Boredom
Boredom is a potent problem in the workplace. It is a leading cause of job attrition and can induce reckless behaviour. Surveys reveal that employees report approximately 10 hours of boredom at work every week. Rather than adding to this ennui, AI can alleviate it. AI can be employed to streamline and expedite repetitive tasks, thereby reducing boredom and fostering productivity. Encouraging workers to employ AI to eliminate tedious tasks could help optimise operations while boosting overall morale.
AI is more than just a tool for the future—it's a tool for the now. One of the most exciting elements is it’s potential to liberate us from drudgery, enabling us to focus on what truly matters in our work. So let's embrace AI's more 'boring' side, and see how it can truly make a difference in all of our professional lives.

If you describe yourself as AI-first
To me, that means anytime you have a task to do, or a problem to solve
You ask yourself if there's a way to do this with AI, first
Really think it's that simple
