I still work 40 hours a week. AI turns it into 120
I teach people how to use AI for a living. So you would expect me to tell you it does everything. It doesn’t. What it does is take a huge amount of the grind out of my week, as long as I stay in the loop. Most of what I have learned came from AI […] The post I still work 40 hours a week.

I teach AI education and coaching in Singapore, integrating AI into nearly every aspect of my work. A video that once required shooting, editing, and crew has now been streamlined into a desk-based process. Initially, AI-generated videos had issues like inconsistent clothing and background, but I addressed these by creating a storyboard template that standardized elements like wardrobe, environment, lighting, and speaking times.
Now, I focus on creative direction and feedback, directing the entire video production process. My website, built on Lovable, faced a similar issue when an AI tool misjudged its content for search engine crawlers due to perceiving only a blank shell. I now verify AI's real-world assessments myself before acting. I no longer start projects from scratch; instead, I draft emails in my voice and edit before sending.
I also utilize AI-generated voiceovers for routine tasks. Though I work the same 40 hours as before, AI has tripled the output I can produce, allowing me to accomplish tasks that once took 120 hours or more. Even though AI informs decisions, it cannot make them, and I still retain final authority. In my team, everyone now reviews their work through AI before presenting it to me, transforming the approach from producing everything manually to directing, checking, and improving on AI-generated drafts.
