We Are the Copy-Pasters of AI
I don’t know about you, but we see it every day. AI was supposed to free us, but instead it chained us. ChatGPT writes a text, we copy and paste it into Gamma.app. Done there? No, we copy again and paste it all into Google Slides.
We write a text ourselves, ask ChatGPT to fact-check it. It fixes things, we copy and paste. Then we move it into a project for micro-documentary prompts. Copy, paste again. We are the copy-pasters of AI.
Agents exist, sure. But for these things they still work poorly, especially when the task is something you only do once in your life. They don’t have patterns, they don’t have memory. And in the end, we are faster and better with our copy-paste.
When we say we “used AI,” we’re really just copy-pasting. “I used AI to write this document” often just means: I copy-pasted some text from AI into this document.
We’re not deciding, we’re not creating, we’re just moving chunks from one window to another. A digital assembly line. The machine works, we do the grunt work. It’s a total reversal. We’re no longer the masters of tools. We’re their assistants.
The truth is we’ve invented a new job: the human copy-pasters. Output movers, order confirmers. We carry the responsibility without the satisfaction.
And that’s the trap. AI looks autonomous, but without us it doesn’t move. It forces us into wasted time, making us the invisible slaves that keep its illusion alive.
How long will we remain digital field hands?
