I tackle the big fear everyone’s got: will AI snatch your job? Spoiler: probably, if your gig’s something AI can do better. I dive into how we’re messing up by giving humans AI-suited jobs (like repetitive tasks) and AI human-suited jobs (like creative stuff). It’s a mess! But I’ve got a vision: a task economy where an AI dispatcher assigns jobs based on what humans and AI are best at. Picture this—you’re strolling by a park, and your phone pings: “Hey, rake this corner for $5?” You say yes, grab a rake, and boom, you’re paid. Or maybe AI needs a human to classify a tricky image. Humans get creative, physical tasks; AI handles the number-crunching grind. No more “jobs” in the old-school sense—just tasks you pick up when you feel like it. I say it’s not dystopian; it’s freeing! Robots still can’t fix your plumbing, but humans can. Let’s realign work so we’re all playing to our strengths—humans and AI, side by side. YouTube peeps, let’s dream up this future together!---The First Future Planner: Record First, Action Later: https://foremark.usBe A Better YOU with AI: Join The Community: ⁠https://10xyou.us⁠Get AIDAILY every weekday. ⁠https://aidaily.us⁠My blog: ⁠https://thinkfuture.com
