The ancient Greeks had spirits; we have apps:
"What oppressed the pious Greek was the cloud of spirits that surrounded him, ready and able, he believed, to spy upon him, interfere with him, and do him evil." -- Durant

The difference between "can't do this at all, or at least not repeat it reliably" and "can do this repeatedly, reliably, but it takes a long time" is enormous. It's a game changer. Even if "long time" means hours.
From "repeatable, reliable" it's possible to move towards "repeatable, reliable, fast" and getting there is revolutionary for productivity.
