INSIGHT

The Rapid Shift Has Mostly Happened

  • Most perceptible change already happened in recent years; future gains may be incremental with step-jumps.
  • Expect slow shifts: jobs become more trade-like and interpersonal value grows.
ADVICE

Protect The Messy Middle

  • Use AI upstream for ideation and downstream for critique, but protect the messy middle of creation.
  • Avoid using AI to write initial drafts that shortcut your personal discovery and voice.
ADVICE

Use AI For Draft Critique, Then Curate

  • Use AI as a first-pass editor or critic to get quick feedback and suggested edits.
  • Then filter suggestions carefully and preserve your original voice and intent.
