Psychology of work with AI

AI and LLMs will equip all of us with Iron Man suits. It is the great equalizer of expert skills, a democratization that, we can all imagine, will push all human beings into a new era of evolution.

We’ve all had the internet, and it was amazing that people could research their own way into any topic. It took hours, even days, and it was impersonal, but it was a leap forward. Now all of that is available to us in seconds. We can have real-time, professional-grade conversations about plumbing or oncology.

We feel more empowered: we can run our own health investigations (up to a point) and better understand what’s happening. We also feel more disempowered, contemplating a universe in which our specialization becomes everybody else’s norm. How will this change us? I’m exploring these questions in a series of essays.
