"If you think about workflows, you are constraining your thinking into a process. "

David Villalón @davipar, and Manuel Romero @mrm8488 of digital worker firm @maisaAI_ argue that AI workflows over-constrain knowledge work, forcing a human to be kept in the loop.

"Dood luck managing all that, or you can hire a human today"

Workflows sound deterministic. But in knowledge work, they destroy the capability.

Surprising thing I learned is that making an agent reliable by restricting its range of access to a workflow also necessarily locks a human in the loop pattern

@8teAPi The loop self-reinforces. Restrict access, human approves, system never proves independent reliability, human stays. Breaking out requires deliberate risk acceptance.
