Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

If tasks are "too easy," the value of the result decreases. People want to feel that they have made a meaningful contribution to the process of creating something. With AI, there is a risk of completely removing the human element from certain tasks, such as sending emails or booking flights. However, involving humans in the process of using AI agents helps to create a sense of ownership and results in a more valuable outcome. Simple actions like asking the user, "would you prefer an aisle or window seat," even if the AI already knows the answer, can help achieve this.
