Very smart and thought-provoking on several levels. I love author Joanna Penn's comment to AI bashers: "We just have to double down on being human." This article was a beautiful balance of heart and head. If you don't follow Andy O'Bryan, he is doing really good work in the area of hw to humanize AI.
The reframe from "will AI replace me?" to "which parts of me become more valuable when AI is everywhere?" is doing a lot of work in this piece: it's the kind of question that produces movement rather than paralysis, and it's rare to see it put that cleanly. What strikes me is how few people have actually absorbed the task-level nuance, even though Microsoft's research puts it plainly: 80% of workers see individual tasks automated, not full roles displaced. I'm curious whether you see the identity threat piece, the competence and belonging anxiety, shifting once people have genuine hands-on experience with these tools rather than just reading about them?
This is the first logical and easy to apply solution to the fear of AI taking our jobs that I've seen.
