Two extreme paths impacted by AI I dreamt up from the hammock:
A
Prompt engineering is the new omni skill.
Those who can defly use, and have access to, AI, can quit the 9-5, launch a solo businesses pursuing creative or artistic endeavours at a rate never seen before.
The rest will become stagnant and are outcompeted.
Employers become obsolete as people pursue their own creative endeavours and make money for themselves cutting out middlemen in all walks of life,
coupled with the fact that AI giants have replaced vast numbers of small service businesses with specialist trained Ai chatbots.
Since services can be produced cheapy,
Value shifts from objects, status symbols, services to more intellectual properties, training, IP, thoughts, philosophies, connection.
These will be the things that people are selling in x5 years.
B
AI is used to produce a constant deluge of surface level garbage content which floods the Internet.
This compounded with fake news, over-promising, FOMO and aggresive marketing leads to nation-wide fatigue, and lack of trust of online content.
As online content loses meaning, people lose interest in social media platforms, who desperatley try to drum up engagement through divisive AI bots, and bot content, which only drives people away faster.
People now value and trust only face to face connections,
only believe in world events they can see in front of them,
buy local physical products,
triggering a rapid “quiet-quitting” of the Internet
