Let’s start with what AI isn’t going to be.

It’s not going to suddenly let people who have produced nothing, to start producing. If you have historically done nothing, made nothing and think that with AI you will continue to do nothing and make nothing except now with a financial incentive, you are dead wrong. AI isn’t here to solve the problem of the inability to actualize ideas into worldly constructs. AI will not let you type in a prompt, and the exact idea you have in your head will suddenly unfurl before you like a magical, flying carpet. AI isn’t going to let you go from 0 to 100, and it’s not going to let you start something you otherwise wouldn’t have. AI will not have an ‘autopilot’ setting for your career. If it did, you wouldn’t have a job. AI isn’t going to democratize work, and level the playing fields of intellectual thoughts, or physical labor. AI isn’t an oracle, that you can pay tribute to and consult to get all of the answers. AI isn’t going to tell you what you should do to become who you want to be.

AI isn’t going to write your words; AI isn’t going to make your game and AI isn’t going to tell your story.

Only you can do that.

AI is going to be a tool, that allows those who already have the drive to accelerate progress. AI is going to be a tool that amplifies effort, not replaces it. AI isn’t going to eliminate work; it will allow those who are already creating to create more, create better, and create faster.
