Hot Take: AI Just Made Information Almost Worthless
Let me explain. 30 or 40 years ago, information had enormous value. If you wanted to learn a language, you needed a teacher. You needed to buy a dictionary or go to the library. If you wanted to open a business, you had to figure things out almost blindly. Information itself was the product. But now? AI can generate almost any information instantly. Ask ChatGPT: “How do I start a restaurant?” You’ll get a full step-by-step plan in seconds. So the real competitive advantage is no longer knowledge. It’s experience. AI can tell you what usually works. But it hasn’t: • survived real mistakes • developed intuition • learned from failure • built judgment That still comes from doing. Which raises an interesting question. In a world where AI gives everyone access to information… Does experience become the most valuable asset? Or will AI eventually replace that too?

well, a hard-earned expertise is hard to replace. I would much rather learn a language by hearing how a serious polyglot learned it vs just getting random tips from ChatGPT. Obviously that AI does still have a big role - anything that is information based, like you said, is right there - which is awesome. But it doesn’t replace experience
If AI Can Replace 80% of What You Do… That’s Actually Good News.
Do you agree with this? And most importantly: Are you already acting like that’s true? 🤔 Most professionals hear “AI can automate 80% of your work” and immediately panic. But what if that’s the opportunity? What if that means you finally get to double down on your real 20%? Your judgment. Your taste. Your positioning. Your ability to make decisions and take responsibility. AI can draft. AI can summarize. AI can structure. AI can generate variations. But it cannot assume liability. It cannot truly understand long-term strategy. It cannot feel the weight of a decision. That part is still yours. — For me personally, this has been very real. In content creation alone, AI has saved me an absurd amount of time. It helps me: - Structure lessons faster - Refine explanations - Generate examples - Draft email variations - Clarify ideas Not to create my English courses for me. Not to replace my thinking. But to remove friction. And yet — if I’m being honest — I’m still probably using AI at 30–40% of its potential. Which means I’m leaving leverage on the table. So here’s the challenge: If AI can replace or assist 80% of the operational layer of your work… Are you consciously reinvesting that freed time into your 20%? Or are you just doing the same work slightly faster? Big difference. AI + 80/20 thinking is not about becoming an AI expert. It’s about becoming more of what makes you valuable. Be honest: Are you using AI to go deeper into your craft? Or just to move quicker through your inbox? 👀 Let’s discuss.

@Victor Junior that’s a good point - sadly a lot of people will have their jobs at risk

@Gabriel Silva yeah I already feel like my writing skills are worse due to AI lol
🚀 The AI Course Builder Challenge
Let’s make this practical. Your best friend tells you: “I’m starting an online course. I want to use AI properly — not lazily. How should I use it for content and marketing?” What do you tell them? Be specific. Not “use ChatGPT for ideas.” I mean: - How should they use AI to structure the course? - How should they validate demand? - How should they create better lessons? - How should they use AI for marketing? - Where should they NOT rely on AI? 🎯 The challenge: Write the exact advice you would give them in 5–10 bullet points. Imagine they actually depend on your answer. Would you tell them to use AI mainly for: Planning? Execution? Refinement? Distribution? All of it?

@Katya Lebedeva yeah that’s why I think it would be a good idea to take a look at their skill set before anything. For example: do they have weak marketing skills with no experience? Then of course that a good starting point would be to use AI to help with that. That’s not to say someone with marketing experience shouldn’t use AI to also help (and like Gabriel said) stress-test ideas and take things further

@Katya Lebedeva yeah that’s my thought. If someone has no clue how to execute a specific aspect of launching a course, then AI will be great help… however, it won’t be a perfect substitute for experience and it will be important to make sure AI doesn’t go into some wild hallucination lol
🤖 From Replaceable to Leverage: The AI Test 🔥
Sam Altman said it best: AI won’t replace humans - humans who use AI will replace those who don’t. But most professionals misunderstand this. The goal isn’t to let AI do your job. The goal is to use AI to strengthen the part of your job that can’t be replaced: judgment, decision-making, problem framing, execution. 🎯 Today’s Challenge Answer one of these, as concretely as possible: 1. What part of your work would be hardest for AI to replace if you doubled down on it? (Strategy? Client communication? Taste? Prioritization? Teaching? Leadership?) 2. How could AI help you amplify that strength instead of replacing it? Not “doing it for you” — but making you faster, clearer, or more decisive. 3. What’s one task you still do manually that AI could help you execute better this week? No theory. No hype. Just real leverage. 👇 Drop your answer below. Let’s compare notes.

Well I think that virtually any professional could become irreplaceable by mastering AI at various levels - regardless of the position, pretty much

@Gabriel Silva that’s a fair point. I don’t think AI tool skill stays scarce long term, but the ability as tolls change might. The people who stay curious and keep integrating AI into how they think and work and operate will probably pull ahead
🧠💡 Using AI to Free Up Mental Energy
Quick note — sorry for being a bit quiet lately 😅 I was doing some long travelling… lots of trains, airports, connections, the whole thing. Now I’m finally settled for the next few months, which actually made me realize something interesting. I used AI a lot to plan and execute this whole trip properly — routes, timing, decisions, adjustments — and honestly, it made everything way smoother. What surprised me is how much this also helps professionally: I’m basically practicing the same skills, freeing up mental energy, and staying clearer and more focused for work. Do you experience the same thing with AI? Has it helped you think better, organize your life, or work more efficiently? Curious to hear your thoughts 👇

This is a solid consideration and I hope you enjoyed your travels! I started to miss your posts lol. Well, I would say that this is a major benefit of AI: if we use it properly our lives can be made a lot easier - and then we can focus on the things that matter most (whether it’s personal or professional)

@Gabriel Silva hahaha yeah well, that’s something I think about sometimes - I am afraid that I might become worse at actual writing just be relying so often on AI for helping me with it
