With a Keyboard in My Hand, Lord Lord: Relevance and Identity in the Age of AI
I've been diving deep into AI lately—and honestly, it's shaking up how I think about myself, my skills, and my identity.
As AI gets better at tasks I once saw as uniquely "me," like writing and strategic questioning, I'm grappling with questions like: Am I replaceable? What does it mean to stay relevant when tech can mimic some of my best skills?
Inspired by the legend of John Henry—the steel-driver who beat a steam engine but lost his life in the process—I wrote about the tension between holding onto our current identities and the curiosity required to redefine ourselves.
Expect to explore:
- How AI challenges our sense of identity and self-worth
- Why holding tightly to roles we're proud of can hold us back
- How embracing technology can unlock unexpected capabilities
- The mindset needed to adapt and thrive alongside AI
