There’s so much fear and hype around us losing our jobs to AI that we’re not hearing about the quiet wins. In my case, building a product, my AI use isn’t replacing anyone, it’s augmenting my abilities. I can do the research (and enjoy it) and so won’t pay someone else to do it, but doing it with AI is much faster. I can create the financial model and so won’t pay someone else to do it, but using AI is so much faster.
I’m reminded of Apple’s Knowledge Navigator video from 1987. We haven’t quite caught up to it, but we’re very close and could probably build that today.
