Let's talk
There are so many concerns about how AI will make people useless and how they will lose their jobs, but is it true?
In almost every conversation with freelance or community experts, I ask how they feel about AI stuff.
And not a single person told me they are afraid to lose their jobs ??
Why?
Because they see AI tools as something that can help them be better and faster and save time automating routine things to become much more valuable as a professional in their field.
I love reading daily "The World In Brief" newsletter by The Economist , and I've recently seen this quote there by Arno Allan Penzias:
If you don’t want to be replaced by a machine, don’t try to act like one!
Of course, if you're doing some repetitive, boring stuff no one wants to do, but this work still needs to be done by someone, the moment it can be automated - you will lose your job (sorry, not sorry).
That's exactly what happened to lamplighters when cities got electricity and replaced gas lamps with electric light bulbs.
Still, electricity brought so much more value to humanity.
So, approach AI tools as electricity: create a list of your daily tasks and think about how you can free your time using AI and what other value you can bring to people that AI cannot yet, and every 6-12 months, repeat this process.
And I assure you, everyone won't lose their jobs because of AI, but those who use AI will be much more in demand ??
In case you missed it, here is what I've talked about this week! ????

1 个月Oh yay ?? I have Gabriella’s conversation pulled up and I can’t wait to listen :) I told my story to someone again recently and we will be collaborating on some things moving forward. It’s kinda amazing how fast it all has come together, but we both felt an energetic alignment to take it further ??
