AI makes it 10X easier to get started with any kind of task. Coding, legal work, research, financial analysis, and so on. But having the right judgment for how to direct the agent onto the right work, how to veer it to course correct it, being able to review or test the output, and having the right sense of what “good” looks like all requires a high degree of skill depending on the field.
That skill can be developed far faster due to AI for anyone interested, which is amazing for uplifting anyone in their career. But there’s no replacement to needing judgment and many of the core skills that go into most domains of work.
And if anything, AI will be a technology that exacerbates differences in skill levels because the experts have far more leverage than ever before. Net net: don’t give up on being an expert at something.
