[Feb 14] Role of humans in a world of generative AI (work in progress)

I think long term, the value of a human in any human/AI system for information work will boil down to 2 things:

  1. Edge case detection: correcting AI
  2. Creativity: combining two unrelated ideas
  3. Social: human interaction is essential

Let’s go deep on why humans are valuable in each

Edge case detection

Creativity

Social

  • Interpersonal work (counselors, HR, sales, customer service)

Most other things will be automated like:

  • Doing mundane tasks
  • Research and analysis
  • Problem solving

To classify

  • Technical/manual
  • Physical
