Staying Ahead of AI with a Simple Framework

•

AI is making me feel more useless as a human lately & i know the gap is only going to grow larger... so here's how I'm getting ahead of this feeling, & the simple framework I'm using to make myself irreplaceable.

honestly, I think most of us have felt this gut punch seeing AI accomplish so much in so little time. replicating music artists' voices so it's indistinguishable coding an app fulfilling roles people went to school for years learning how to accomplish AI seems unstoppable...

& in many ways AI actually is unstoppable. But it doesn't replace us humans (definitely not an AI writing this 😈) It enhances us. Yes AI may take some of our jobs, and even perform skills better than us despite all of the time we spent learning said skills. Time to adapt.

Wondering which jobs aren't affected by this AI takeover? or have less exposure? here's a list (from Open AI) Most importantly I'd like to note that most of these probably aren't most people's dream jobs & that's because AI will expand the idea of what work means to us.

NOW, How do you adapt to an ever-expanding technology that can seemingly do everything? Leverage it. There is real concern that AI takes some joy out of the everyday creation process, so im not saying to ditch everything, but I am saying... Think about AI can benefit you.

How? ASK HARD QUESTIONS I don't know which profession you're in, i don't know what your ideal life contains, I don't know you at all. But for anyone, the following questions should help you leverage AI. (if you want to): Copy and paste the next tweet into your notes ⬇

What do I want to learn but dont have a personal tutor for? (AI to teach you) What things have I gotten stuck on in the past week? (ask ai help) How many hours could I save if I could automate this specific thing? (ask AI) Summarize using AI (Overpowered, save a ton of time)

Now, answer those and you'll likely find ways you can start to research or implement the use of AI to make your life easier. Questions let you evaluate in reality before panicking below I've left another set of questions to stop being overwhelmed by AI progress.

Can AI replace me as a human? No. What parts of things that I enjoy will AI replace? Can I still enjoy these things even with AI? What parts of my life am I most scared of AI taking away? Can I still live a happy life with AI taking over basic tasks? Can AI enhance my life?

I know it's easy to feel overwhelmed with AI coming and doing so much. "Should I learn a new skill?" "What's the point in writing if AI can make a good story" But I'm here to remind you that you can not only continue your life with AI being a thing, but also add more freedom.

How am i making myself irreplaceable? Simple. I'm being myself & exploring my own curiosities. I'm not saying that AI cant do some things I can do, but I am saying that AI can't replace a human, just like 1 human is no substitute for another human. Explore curiosity.

Maybe that last part was a bit wishy-washy for some, but in reality- I see a world where our lives are much more focused on exploring curiosity than working jobs we hate Want to join me on a quest for more freedom in your life, then sub to my newsletter Link is in my bio.
