Why Cowork can’t work

benn.substack • 2250 implied HN points • 16 Jan 26
đź•ą Technology AI Machine Learning Software Development Automation Future work User Experience
  1. AI coding tools work because people care that code runs, not how it looks, so opaque machine-written code is acceptable as long as it delivers results.
  2. Bringing agent-style AI to everyday tasks like email and slides is harder because those outputs carry personal voice and identity, and current models struggle to reliably mimic individual people.
  3. Rather than true collaboration, work is shifting toward machines mediating a shared repository of context and decisions, turning human-to-human exchanges into AI‑intermediated, confederated workflows.
