A short YouTube transcript excerpt (conversation between Paul Barnhurst and another speaker) about delegation vs automation in a system. Paul explains that the system is set to manual approval — meaning a human must approve additions — and points out an option to switch to auto so the system automatically adds answers to save time. The exchange references a chat box UI element and the manual/auto toggle.

It's delegating. Who's it delegating to? Is it delegating to itself?
You have a manual or an auto approve? We have it on manual. You're gonna have to approve it every time it adds them. Because you have manual down there. You see that down at the bottom in the chat box down below. Go to a little lower. They have that manual versus auto. May change it to auto, and then it just automatically puts the answers, the interest of time.
