Someone recently said AI will soon outthink human researchers. I am a little skeptical as of now but I am open to the idea of it. I already use AI quite heavily and I do think it helps everyone be more efficient etc.
But curious, have you noticed AI is better than a human, you or an employee already? If so what are those things! Super curious!
Entrepreneurs, what is something you have noticed AI is better than you or your employees already?

Interesting questions. I have noticed AI to be better than humans, me or my team at two specific things already
**Building Well Defined Software at Lighting Speed:** We have noticed tools like Cursor, and Windsurf, with their AI agents like Cascade, can quickly implement new features by writing code and even testing it. As long as its well defined and you know what you are doing, it seem to be able to build features that used to take weeks to build within minutes. Our team is shipping features daily now and its insane how much more productive our engineering team is now! For what I have seen, its turning engineers into basically managers- you need to learn how to talk to it correctly but when done, its like having 10 people under you who can implement at lightning speed
**Ingesting Large Amount of Data & Building Strategy:** An example of this would be SEO in marketing. Earlier we used to have to look at 1000+ keywords on Google search console performance data manually and come up with a good strategy to write content and blogs around this. This had been a painful process often riddled with human error. AI on the other had has been incredibly good at automatically ingesting all this data, and seamlessly coming up with a great strategy for us. Yes, it can even write those blogs automatically for you, but I am more impressed about how it can ingest vast amount of data and come up with a great SEO strategy in seconds that would have taken a lot of money and time if we had hired external agencies.
So that would be the two for us! Curious what others have to say tho!
Being a yes man
I think that , there is kind of loop or habit AI is forming like when you needed to know answers , or want to solve something or basically research , you used to google it, and you had to scroll through most of sites to get the answer or solution you want, but now the llm tools are giving more direct answers also research for you, and a human will prefer thing that is efficient , so the llm is more efficient as it gives more direct answer and you don’t have much work, and that thing will create a habit , whenever you need to search something you will most likely ask AI. So any business person, we cant say AI is better than employees yet but it is more efficient nowadays, and in future it will become better. So i think anyone will prefer efficiency.
I fired all my employees except one due to AI. AI is consistent (for the most part), doesn’t complain and given the written instructions/inputs can do just about anything.
Of course the final product needs to be double checked and you should have extensive industry knowledge first.
Iterating on product ideas.
As one of the other posters has stated, AI can now implement features and functionality that used to take days or weeks, in minutes or hours.
This means we no longer necessarily need to fully spec something with a client, which was always a disastrous process of defining software requirements because so few end users can really comprehend how an application might work until it is in front of them working (or not). It doesn’t matter how many designs or UX models you create, until you get the real thing in front of a user who can click and type their way through it, you aren’t going to know if it’s what they want or not.
So AI now means we can have working features in front of clients very quickly, minor changes can be done with the user next to us. The whole user feedback loop and iteration process has sped up maybe 10x over.
The other thing is has done – it has opened the door to the opportunity to try almost anything myself. It doesn’t matter that I’ve never used Adobe Premiere Pro before, ChatGPT will talk me through the steps I need to follow to do exactly the task that I want it to do. I’ve never used Blender before either, but now Manus is helping me create a new physical product that I can advertise on my Shopify store to test market fit before I go to manufacture stage.
These are the sort of things I would have had to either find a friend to help me with and get them to fit in a time that was convenient for them, or go to something like Fiverr or Upwork and get a freelancer to do it for me, with all the overhead that would entail.
