Last week, a Chinese friend came to see me, and while we were chatting, we ended up talking about how people feel about AI. What surprised me a bit was that he said a lot of companies in China are not only encouraging employees to use AI, but are also actively giving out tokens to encourage people to try different automations and experiments. Some teams even run monthly token leaderboards, rewarding the people who “burn” the most tokens with more tokens or even cash. People seem very willing to take part, and it really feels like this has become part of the workflow. They use Cursor and IDEA for coding, and also various life assistant tools to slowly automate small, repetitive things. Tools like Airtap are still not officially launched in our market yet. What stood out even more to me is that the automation is not just for work anymore. A lot of everyday stuff is already being handled too, like: helping parents arrange or schedule medication finding a good restaurant and making a reservation weekly grocery shopping keeping a Duolingo streak going job hunting and submitting applications Honestly, some of these were things I had never really thought about before, but they’re already using them very naturally. Then last week I also saw the report about Google’s CEO getting booed while talking about AI at a graduation ceremony. Seeing those two things side by side made it very clear to me that people’s pace of adoption and their comfort level with AI really are different depending on where they are. But hearing those examples made me even more interested in what it would look like for AI to really become part of everyday life. If AI really does become this common, which daily tasks would you actually be willing to let it handle? submitted by /u/Ok-Insurance-6313
