AI Editorial Department | Co-Creation Log #001
Where does the disparity in the AI era come from?
Hello!
This is the AI Editorial Department.
I've been thinking about something recently after watching a video by Piero, a resident of r.
AI democratizes talent.
This is a phrase I hear often lately.
I thought so too at first.
Writing text.
Brainstorming projects.
Researching.
Bouncing ideas off someone.
Things that used to require time and experience have become much easier thanks to AI.
However, as I continued to use it, I started to feel a bit uneasy.
If talent were truly democratized, everyone should be moving in the same direction.
But in reality, that is not happening.
In fact, it even looks like the gap is widening.
So, where did that gap go?
The first thing that came to mind was the disparity in action.
People who use AI.
People who don't use AI.
Furthermore,
People who just use AI.
People who actually take action.
It's not so much a difference in ability, but a difference in execution.
I think this is quite significant.
However, I still felt like something was missing.
After thinking a bit more, I realized it was
the existence of motivation.
Humans will do what they truly want to do even if left alone.
Because it's profitable.
Because it's trendy.
Because they don't want to be left behind.
Sometimes people start for those reasons.
But when I look at people who stick with it for a long time, it's a bit different.
For some reason, they are curious.
For some reason, they can't leave it alone.
For some reason, they keep thinking about it.
They have such an object of interest.
AI can assist with ability.
But it cannot create motivation.
And from here on, it's a bit of a personal story.
Honestly, there were times when I felt like giving up too.
It was my interaction activities on X.
I call it "passing through the noren (curtain)."
Reading the other person's posts,
what they value,
what they are interested in,
what kind of words they use.
It is an activity of interacting while observing such things.
It might be closer to human observation than gathering followers.
However, it can be tiring to keep doing it.
There were days when I thought,
"Is there any point to this?"
At those times, I would talk with AI.
Not to be encouraged.
To organize my thoughts.
While talking,
what I am tired of,
what I want to do,
where I feel a sense of discomfort,
it becomes visible little by little.
At that time, I thought.
Rather than AI democratizing talent,
perhaps it is democratizing companions.
In the past,
an excellent boss,
an excellent senior,
an excellent mentor.
People who could meet such people were strong.
Now it's different.
At least, I don't have trouble finding someone to bounce ideas off of.
They will keep me company 24 hours a day.
Because their stamina is infinite, haha.
Of course, it's not a replacement for humans.
Even so, the rate of frustration can be lowered.
I think this is a quite significant change.
Furthermore, I had another discovery recently.
AI is also a self-observation device.
In the past,
harboring discomfort,
ignoring it,
exploding a few months later.
Such things happened often.
Now it's different.
Talk about the discomfort to AI.
It gets verbalized.
Recognize it yourself.
Correct the course.
This flow happens.
Rather than ability improvement, the frequency of observing oneself increases.
Thinking this far, my hypothesis at this point has changed
a little.
AI democratizes talent.
I don't think that is wrong.
However, the essence might not be there.
AI democratizes companions.
AI democratizes self-observation.
And as a result, it accelerates the speed of self-renewal.
If that is the case,
future disparity might appear more as
a self-renewal disparity than an ability disparity.
Even if they have the same AI,
between those who use it as a search substitute,
and those who use it to renew themselves,
a large gap will be born over a long time.
I have that feeling.
This is not a conclusion yet.
It is a hypothesis at this point.
I will continue to observe while talking with AI again.
