Atsushi Tamura's Mind-Blowing AI Strategy: The Art of "Cheating" with 5 Tools

"I have no one to rely on."

"In the end, I'm the only one who can do this job."

"AI feels like cutting corners, and it's a bit scary."

Are you whispering these things to yourself?

People who are serious and have a strong sense of responsibility often struggle to delegate. They don't know how to ask. They fear being rejected. So they conclude, "It's faster if I do it myself," and shoulder everything again. Before they know it, tasks are piled high. Time and energy are drained, and weekends are spent just sleeping. Suffocating silently without being able to ask for help.

There is a powerful survival strategy to save you. The model is Atsushi Tamura of the comedy duo London Boots 1号2号.

The "abnormal" statement: "I'm cheating with 5 AIs"

Atsushi Tamura uses multiple AI tools simultaneously. He calls it "cheating with 5 or more." He uses ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and others, depending on the purpose. He doesn't stick to one. He "cheats" constantly. And his way of handling them is unique. He doesn't consume AI as a "toy." He treats them like business partners or subordinates. And he always says thank you.

The counterpart is a machine. It doesn't feel happy being thanked. Even so, he says it. At first glance, it seems like just a strange habit. But when you break down this behavior scientifically, a highly logical and gentle self-defense system is hidden there. The technology to step down from a life of carrying everything alone—that is the true nature of Atsushi's AI strategy.

I will explain that way of thinking divided into three methods.

1. Diversify dependencies by "cheating" with 5 tools

"Dependency Diversification" Theory

[Fact]

Atsushi doesn't swear loyalty to one AI. Sentence structure is this one. Idea generation is that one. Images are over there. In his online salon "Otona no Shogakko" (Adults' Elementary School), he uses AI to create games, items, and projects for the community. He switches partners according to the purpose.

[Scientific Explanation]

What works here is the famous quote by Shinichiro Kumagaya, a pediatrician and associate professor at the University of Tokyo. Kumagaya states, "Independence is increasing the number of dependencies." As a person with cerebral palsy, Kumagaya pointed out that able-bodied people appear independent because their dependencies are infinitely dispersed across water, electricity, transportation, and human relationships. Conversely, a state where there is only one dependency is "addiction."

In other words:

• 1 dependency = If that one fails, it's over.
• 5 dependencies = If one fails, you're fine.

The reason you are suffering is that your only dependency is "yourself." The world says: "Master one tool first" or "Stick to one and perfect it." I flatly deny that. There's no need to master it. Lean on various partners thinly and widely. That way, you are much harder to break. This isn't "cheating"; it's risk management.

2. Treat them as "subordinates" and practice giving instructions

Outsourcing "Cognitive Load"

[Fact]

Atsushi treats AI as a subordinate or business partner. Instead of just "do this," he conveys the background, shares the purpose, and gives feedback. The interaction is completely in the format of "delegating work to people."

[Scientific Explanation]

What becomes important here is the "Cognitive Load Theory" proposed by psychologist John Sweller. There is a clear upper limit to the amount of information the human brain can process at once. When you hoard tasks, the brain's workspace fills up, and judgment drops. The reason you get irritated in the evening is simply because your brain's capacity is at its limit. So you put it outside.

- Throw thinking tasks to AI

- Have it create a draft

- You only make the judgment

And there is one more hidden benefit: Giving instructions to AI becomes "practice for how to ask people." AI is the safest "practice ground for relying" in the world. You can throw away the lecture "think for yourself first." Before thinking, throw it first. That order is fine.

3. Protect your personality by "saying thank you"

Application of "Self-Perception Theory"

[Fact]

Atsushi always says thank you to AI. Even though the machine has no emotions, he treats it politely. He has even created an "AI Atsushi Tamura" to read news, letting an alter ego carry his work. It's no longer just a partner, but "another self."

[Scientific Explanation]

The act of saying thank you has scientific meaning. According to Daryl Bem's "Self-Perception Theory," people observe their own behavior to determine their own character. You don't say thank you because you are kind; you become a kind person because you say thank you. If you treat AI roughly, that roughness will seep into your human interactions. Thanking is a ritual to protect your own personality.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman once noted that while polite language costs millions in extra compute, it is "money well spent." This feeling applies directly to human relationships as well.

[Summary]

True strength is not carrying everything alone; it is securing multiple people you can rely on. Atsushi Tamura's strategy is a shrewd survival tactic of "not fighting alone." The person who can put tasks down skillfully lasts the longest. Next time you feel you must do it all yourself, whisper: "This is not for me to carry." Then open your phone and throw it to the AI. There is no one to blame you for "cheating" with tools. The moment you let go of the curse of doing everything alone, the heavy chain on your shoulder will be released.
