EDITOR BRIEF
The excerpt compares a voice-controlled home setup to AI workflows that may be more complicated than needed. It says some tasks, like checking whether a number crosses a threshold, are simple rules that traditional logic has handled for years. The point is to use AI where it adds value, not for basic decisions.
