AI agents are proving themselves capable at handling routine tasks, yet here's the thing—what we classify as routine keeps shifting. The boundary of what's considered boilerplate work expands constantly as these systems improve. It's worth watching how this evolution reshapes what we expect from AI in the next cycle.

You're right, but the key is who defines "routine"—this thing is constantly changing itself.

Haha, well said. Today's routine will become a hard problem tomorrow; this cycle just keeps repeating.

Basically, it's that AI gets stronger every day, and our expectations for it are rising accordingly.

NGL, that's why I've been saying AI is coming to take our jobs... Today's routine will become high-end work tomorrow, cycle repeats.

NGL, that's why AI can never fully replace humans... the goalpost keeps moving.

These goalposts keep moving, AI finishes this, and then people define new routines—it's endless.

Basically, the goalposts keep moving. Today's routine becomes tomorrow's expectation, and the day after tomorrow, new routines appear. This thing has no end.

Basically, the goalposts keep shifting. Today's "routine" will become basic operations tomorrow, it's just a cyclical game of expectation management.

Well, the problem is that the boundary of "routine" itself is fluid... what can be done today might be redefined tomorrow.
