~ Offload Tedious Tasks to AI! Let’s Get Back Your Time and Peace of Mind ~
Summary
Hey everyone, what comes to mind when you hear “AI”? Maybe you think, “It sounds so complicated…” or “That’s probably something for the future, not for me.” But don’t you worry!🤖✨
AI is truly a powerful new tool that can dramatically streamline the things in our daily work and life that make us think, “This is such a pain,” or “I wish someone could help me with this.” Just as feature phones evolved into smartphones, and like a woodcutter sharpening a rusty axe, by quickly adopting new technology, we can achieve a more productive and creative way of working.
AI is not difficult at all. In fact, it’s like having a brilliant rookie assistant sitting right next to you, ready to handle various tasks with a single instruction. On this page, I’ll explain clearly and carefully how AI can be your ally and how to get along with your “new AI assistant” to maximize its potential. So, are you ready to open the door to a new way of working with AI? 🚀
1. “Why AI, Why Now?” Lessons from History on Tech Innovation and Success
Looking back at human history, our lives and ways of working have changed dramatically each time a new technology has emerged. And throughout these changes, there has almost always been hesitation and resistance to the new. But in the end, it’s an undeniable fact that the people who were quick to see the potential of that new technology and master it were the ones who succeeded.
💡 Let’s think about it for a moment, shall we?
Have you ever felt skeptical when a new technology came out, wondering, “Is this really going to be useful?” I myself went through a phase where I thought, “Smartphones seem so complicated… isn’t it inconvenient without buttons?” But once I started using one, I was constantly amazed by its convenience! Now, I’m genuinely glad I took that step. I’m sure AI has the same kind of “you’ll be amazed once you try it” convenience waiting for you! 😊
What the Evolution from Feature Phones to Smartphones Showed Us
In the early 2000s, we were masters of the “feature phone,” operated by pressing buttons. We skillfully used emojis with complex button combinations, sent emails, and were satisfied with the limited information we had. Then, the revolutionary “smartphone” appeared.
Many people resisted the smartphone, with its buttonless touchscreen and intuitive operation, saying, “It’s inconvenient without buttons,” or “What can you even do on such a small screen?” But the smartphone wasn’t just a tool for calls and emails. It was a “pocket-sized computer” with a constant internet connection, a huge variety of applications, and access to the world’s information at your fingertips. Companies that quickly recognized the potential of smartphones and built new business models and apps experienced explosive growth. As a result, smartphones spread in a flash, and now most of us can’t imagine life without one. Landlines and feature phones are no longer the mainstream.
Will You Keep Chopping with a “Rusty Axe” or Boost Efficiency with a “Sharpened One”?
There’s another story I’d love for you all to hear. It’s the parable of a woodcutter.
🌲 The Parable of the Woodcutter
A woodcutter was diligently chopping wood every day. But his axe was rusty and chipped, making it very difficult to cut down trees. Nevertheless, he focused solely on the task of “chopping the tree in front of him” and, begrudging the time it would take to sharpen the axe, he kept swinging the dull blade over and over.
Meanwhile, another woodcutter paused his work and took the time to carefully sharpen his axe. At first glance, it might seem inefficient to interrupt his work. However, the sharpened axe could fell a tree in just a few swings. As a result, the second woodcutter was able to chop down far more trees, far more efficiently.
This woodcutter’s story applies directly to how we work today. Do we continue to handle our daily tasks with the same old methods (the rusty axe)? Or do we take a little time to learn a new tool like AI (the sharpened axe) and dramatically increase our efficiency? The time you spend learning AI is precisely the time spent sharpening your axe.
2. What Can Your “New AI Assistant” Do?
Now, let’s get to know your “new AI assistant” a little better. He or she never gets tired, processes vast amounts of information in an instant, and will try to do whatever you ask. It’s like having a clone of yourself, ready to powerfully support you with all sorts of tasks.

3. How to Hone Your “Instruction Skills” to Get the Most Out of Your AI Assistant
Your new AI assistant is truly a treasure trove of knowledge. It has immense information and processing power and will give you an answer as soon as you ask. However, to fully unlock its potential, how you give instructions is incredibly important. Think of it like asking a veteran secretary for help—a few simple tricks can make all the difference.
✍️ The Secret: AI is Better at “Following Instructions” than “Reading Between the Lines”!
With a person, a simple “Could you take care of this?” might be enough for them to “read between the lines” and figure out the background and your intent. A colleague or subordinate might act based on the atmosphere or past experiences. However, AI is not yet good at “reading between the lines.” Instead, the more specific and clear your instructions are, the more likely it is to deliver an output that exceeds your expectations. It’s just like a brilliant secretary who understands exactly what you need.
Learn Through Conversation! Tips for Giving Smooth Instructions to AI
Let’s take a look at how important communication with AI is through a simple conversation. Try to read it as if you’re chatting with an AI in a messaging app!
So, a proposal for the new product’s social media sales strategy, to be presented to the department head at next week’s meeting, summarized in 5 easy-to-understand slides with bullet points. Got it!
I’ll start creating an outline right away.
How was that? As you can see, the clearer your instructions, the more likely the AI is to provide an output that exceeds your expectations and strongly support your work. AI is your most powerful “axe,” and how sharp it is depends on your “instruction skills.”
