It’s a lie.
I’ve spent my decades-long career finding shortcuts - and AI is my white whale.
This man is a laziness hero
In Google’s developing vision, there are so many things I no longer have to do for myself.
This is laziness nirvana.
If I don’t want to remember my license plate number (because why would I?
Mailing it in
This Gemini email summarization is something I can really use.
So much goes unread because I’m too lazy to go through it.
This is the email of my lazy dreams.
Vacation from trip planning
New Trip Planning experience in Gemini Advanced.
I hate planning vacations.
Problem solved but not by you
Circle to search to solve problems.

I’m an “artist.”
I put it in quotes because my drawing skills are just above average.
Worse, when faced with a drawing task, I often fight the impulse to not start at all.
That’s not just laziness, it’s avoidance of possible disappointment because I couldn’t create the thing.
Enabling “lazy mode” and putting the pen down.
Not making movies
It appears Donald Glover has already used Veo before you.

Hi, my name is Lance, and I’m a TikToker.
For some reason I can’t explain, TechRadar lets me shoot and post TikTok videos on its channel.
Imagine Grandpa explaining tech, and you get the idea.
It’s a lot of work and sometimes, I’d rather visit our kitchen’s snack bins.
Google’s Veo video model looks every bit as powerful asOpenAI’s Sora.
Research dumpster
Now, this one’s a bit dangerous.
You know reporting, which is hard work, by the way, is all research, right?
Keep this lazy tool away from me.
Job punt
AI Virtual Teammates, that you could even hand terrible names like “Chip.

Recently, we hired a new guy.
It was a lot of work.
Yes, worth the effort, but the work part I can do without.
I had no idea Google would let me create a Virtual Teammate, one I can even name.
He, she, or they can hang out in our chat rooms and engage like a real coworker.
Gosh, this is so easy.
Googling laziness
The core message here.
Don’t tell Google, but I already do this.
It appears Google’s been reading my lazy brain and just turned up the proactive search capabilities to 11.
I mean, they are really owning the phrase, “Google will do the Googling for you.”
Music to my lazy heart.
Doesn’t compute
This looks very powerful.
What if I didn’t?
Google Project Astra is so peppy and proactive.
and go take a nap while it spits out the answer.
An extension of this is Google Gemini’s growing ability to explain everything I look at.
Why should I expend the mental energy to interpret the images my eyes deliver to my brain?
MyPixel 8 Prohas a “brain.”
I’ll let it and Gemini doi it.
There are, it seems, no limits to what Google and its powerful AIs will do for you.
These little bits of AI are for you or rather me.
I’d share more, but, well, laziness.
I would love to hear him say, AI Agents are the lazy person’s ultimate tool.
