I’ve been thinking a lot about my value as a human in the age of AI. What do I have to offer the world when AI can do everything better than I can?
My conclusion for now is that being human is the only value I will have. Not because I think AI won’t be able to do human-like tasks; even things that seem inherently human, like understanding other humans, will be conquered by AI.
But because humans will want to see themselves in other people. AI can teach people how something is done. But teachers, coaches, and role models—other humans—will always be necessary to show people that it can be done—that they, too, can do it if they try hard enough.
