The higher I moved into important roles, the more intense "decision fatigue" became. It felt as if my job had turned into being a full-time decision-maker. Now I deliberately share decision-making with AI. If I give it what I want, AI works through the options and shows me choices that can move me closer to that goal. If a human does what AI tells them to do, maybe that is AI-native.
In 2018, Jeff Bezos said that a senior Amazon executive is not someone who makes countless decisions, but someone who makes a small number of very important decisions at high quality. Warren Buffett has said that three good decisions a year are enough.
Making important decisions at high quality, building systems for them, and doing autobusiness the way one might do autoresearch used to be something only corporate chairmen could do. With AI, everyone's way of working has moved up one layer. I am a founder, so I should work like a chairman.
