# AI employees should be single-task specialists who never get promoted

## Claim
I've built an entire department of AI employees. Each one does exactly one job. None of them gets promoted. Living the dream.

## Mechanism
By assigning each AI tool a single, narrow task (text correction, hashtag generation, etc.), you avoid the overhead of managing a generalist and get reliable, predictable output. No promotion means no scope creep or salary negotiation.
