Thank you for articulating this with your platform. As an adult, I have enough life experience to notice the difference and decide whether to participate or not. As a parent, I am wondering how I can prepare my child to thrive if this is the baseline in her future.
James Marriott hits a similar vein in this week’s Cultural Capital https://substack.com/home/post/p-190295189. Highlighting an article by David Oks, he discusses how the automation of tasks rarely represents a true paradigm shift - a genuine disruption of an industry. More often, automation simply reduces costs and/or increases availability, which can increase demand rather than replace the underlying system.
There are parallels with what’s being said here about AI.
Making the noise easier to navigate doesn’t necessarily reduce the noise itself and may even distract us from recognising a paradigm replacement that offers more value than can be gained by automation alone.
Thanks John, this post really hit me because it sharply describes what I experience myself almost every day. Where days without a crushing deadline feel almost dull and coworkers act surprised when you present something that took more than an hour to out together with the AI. Great perspective
