My Week Without an AI Agent: A Return to Chaos

I decided to do a digital detox and turn off all my AI agents for a week. I figured it would be liberating. It was a nightmare. I missed three appointments because my calendar agent wasn't scheduling them. My inbox became a swamp of spam and newsletters. I spent 4 hours doing data entry that my agent usually does in 10 minutes. I realized I've become reliant on them, and honestly, I'm okay with that. It doesn't make me lazy; it makes me efficient. I turned them back on after day 5. I couldn't handle the chaos.
