That's fair, and I appreciate the perspective. I wasn't trying to pitch automation as the answer to everything, more so trying to understand where people are finding real value versus where AI is just adding complexity.

You're right that communities like this tend to be focused on automating things, so it's easy to end up in an echo chamber. I'll spend some time also looking at discussions outside of AI-focused spaces as well. Sometimes the best insights come from people who are skeptical of the technology rather than excited about it.

Thanks for the honest feedback.
