the world needs more of micro consultants. everyone knows AI exists. most of us have tried chatgpt a few times. but there's a massive gap between 'i've heard of this' and 'this changed how i work.' think about how you actually learned to use AI effectively. it probably wasn't from documentation. maybe you saw someone else do something interesting. maybe you were working on a problem and thought, "i wonder if...". the genuine curiosity. maybe someone walked you through their workflow. the learning happened in context, in relationship, in the actual doing of real work. that's how most people are learning AI right now. through friends. through random tweets. through someone showing them a trick at a coffee shop. someone showing a better way at some random event. fine, yeah, the product documents work. the demo videos work. but it takes genuine curiosity to go through that rabbit hole and find out how. and still, you’d miss different perspectives of approaches from different people. chatgpt can be used in million different ways. we just need to see different approaches of people using it. if you say “ i’ll just ask chatgpt itself of how to use chatgpt effectively” then i pity you. lot of people i speak to randomly at different places like coffee shops, beaches, gym, grocery stores, and sometimes on social media even. they know that AI exits. they may have tried chatgpt a few times. but they haven't integrated it into how they actually work or think or create. not because they're resistant to change, but because learning something new is uncomfortable, especially when what you're already doing works just fine. and that's the thing. "things work just fine" isn't really the point. i think learning AI isn't about fixing what's broken. it's like an investment in your future self. like how we tried hard to learned to memorize tables as a kid. but making that investment is quite not easy. the discomfort is too high. the payoff is too unclear. and being a master in machine learning and algorithms doesn't make anyone the expert of how best to use AI. well, they can be in a good position to understand AI actually works internally. but the implementation part is different. we are basically leveraging the thinking part and so even if one is a machine learning expert and knows clearly of how AI works internally, they don’t think like you. they will not have the same values that you do. they will not prioritize like how you do. you need someone to think like you. valuing what you value. caring what you care. optimizing what you optimize. and let’s you start exploring. and so is the reason why i think there has to be a plethora of micro consultants. helping out at each step, obviously for a trade value. that’s how economics works. i think not learning AI because things work just fine of how they are is not the right way we should look at it. it should be like an investment for the greater good. the long term. like how parents invent in the kids. for a greater good. but it might lil tricky all these guides/consultants/helping hands need good instincts. good values. and also the one who is helping you ideally should not have an incentive from the tool they are suggesting. if it is, then they’d mostly be biased. the world needs more of these people. not because they have all the answers. but because they're willing to help you find yours while they are finding theirs.
