What's the highest leverage move right now?
Reflection on what skills are worth working seeing how strong AI is becoming
With AI getting better and better, I've been reflecting a lot on what work is still worth doing Is learning to code still valuable if AI is already better than 99% of humans? Is learning to write still valuable if AI can do it flawlessly? Is thinking even worth it... Of course it is, AI is a tool, it can empower us but it can't innovate, it can't take decisions, take responsibility. So what's still valuable?
Social skills surely, being a decent human is getting increasingly more valuable. I think writing is still valuable because writing is about having a unique voice, if everyone writes with AI, the one who writes himself, with unique sentence shapes and wording will stand out.
Creativity overall and problem solving, I think AI will not beat human at that. Entrepreneurship, content creation, books, art, music, cinema. Those will always remain valuable.
Code though, I'm not so sure anymore, it's important to understand code and be able to take over when it struggles, but I'm not certain being too much of a specialist is so valuable.
AI should be leveraged as an assistant, someone who does the time-consuming yet accessible work so you can focus on demanding yet full of leverage tasks.
I do not think AI can replace humans fully, at least not an AI built on machine learning.
