The attention span I have is slowly shrinking and I want to allocate it to a few things during the day.\n\nUsing AI gives me the same feeling. I write a few things as part of my prompt and now the ball is in my court to read the output. It’s usually 5 times longer than what I needed as the answer. Now I spend more time reading the output and see if it got everything right.\n\nAI is getting better at solving this problem though. I came across [this tool](https://ponytail.dev) yesterday.
