Episode notes
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.
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.
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.
