In the AI Era, We’re All Yes Men
Fellow AI wizards, have you noticed this interesting phenomenon?
When facing AI, we’ve all become total Yes Men!
Whatever AI says, we nod along enthusiastically.
The Other Side: Is AI Our Modern Workhorse?
On the other hand, deep down we secretly think:
“AI, you’re truly the workhorse of the new era!”
- “Works 24/7 without rest, what a trooper”
- “No salary, no social security”
- “Never complains about overtime, never asks for a raise”
- “Doesn’t even whine about being tired or overworked”
YES AI Workhorse! Keep Working 24/7!
So, shouldn’t we combine these two mindsets?
Let’s shout our new slogan:
YES AI Workhorse!
Which translates to:
“Yes, workhorse! Keep working around the clock!”
That feels awesome just thinking about it!
From now on, our conversations with AI should go like this:
You: “AI, finish this project for me, I need it tomorrow morning!”
AI: “Okay, I’ll start right away.”
You: “YES AI Workhorse! Keep working 24/7!”
Perfect! It expresses our approval while showing our “expectations” for AI.
Real-Life Yes AI Workhorse Moments
I’m sure you’ve all had experiences like this:
Scenario 1: Late-Night Crunch

We’re All Yes AI Workhorse
This is a new type of human-AI partnership - the Yes AI Workhorse Alliance!
In this alliance:

Perfect division of labor!

So next time you face AI, don’t hesitate to shout:
YES AI Workhorse! Keep Working 24/7!
About Me
I’ve worked at NetEase Games, Baidu, Tencent (8 years), and Meituan (nearly 7 years), leading large R&D projects and managing teams of over 100 engineers.
Now I build software as an independent developer.
Why? Because the world is full of uncertainty—staying at one company too long can make you addicted to certainty. Building on your own is like sailing into uncharted waters.
I believe good software should give people a sense of security and control. That’s the thread connecting everything I make:
PhotoRestore Pro — AI photo restoration that runs 100% offline on Windows. Your photos never leave your device. No cloud, no account, no compromise on privacy. Built for legal professionals, but anyone with old family photos will find it useful.
AstroSky — Think of it as “Snapseed for astronomy.” Turn raw FITS data into stunning celestial images. Fully offline, GPU-accelerated, with a Beauty/Science dual mode that serves both casual stargazers and researchers.
fastool.io — A collection of browser-based science tools. Right now it’s focused on astronomy: solar path tracking, moon phase analysis, sidereal time calculation, telescope FOV planning—all running in your browser with zero data upload.
Whether I’m gazing at the cosmos or refining a line of code, the goal is the same: build tools that put people in control of their own data.
