Organizing what AI can and cannot do
Before I started using AI, I had some extreme images of it in my mind.
・An all-purpose tool that does everything
・An entity that steals jobs
・Something that will leave you behind if you don't master it
But what I realized after actually using it was that
AI is a much clumsier, yet more honest tool than I had imagined.
This time, I would like to write quite realistically about
“what AI can and cannot do,” which is something I want to properly organize for anyone continuing with an AI side hustle.
What AI “can do”
First, let's start with the parts you can have expectations for.
① Organizing information
This is what AI is best at.
・Organizing disorganized thoughts
・Turning bullet points into sentences
・Conversely, shortening long texts
Even if you are in a state of “not knowing what to write,”
if you just throw it at the AI, it will give it shape.
This can be used for writing, administrative work, planning, and content creation.
② Creating drafts
AI is an ally for those who struggle with going from zero to one.
・Article outlines
・Email drafts
・Templates for explanatory text
These are not finished products.
But it will definitely lift you up from a “blank state.”
③ Increasing work speed
Using AI reduces the time spent thinking and the time spent stuck.
As a result, you can do the same work with less energy.
This is why it is so compatible with side hustles!
What AI “cannot do”
On the other hand, there are parts where having expectations will only make things difficult.
① Taking responsibility
Even if AI can write text,
・Whether to publish it or not
・Who to publish it to
・With what sentiment to publish it
The judgment and responsibility always remain with the human side.
② Creating experience
AI does not have “experience.”
・The feeling of failure
・The reason for hesitation
・The background of your life
These are parts it cannot provide.
The value of an AI side hustleis only born from AI × the user's experience.
③ Making money on its ownI will write this clearly.
AI does not generate money on its own.Think about how to use it, deliver it to people, and improve it.
If you don't do these things, AI is just a convenient tool.
AI is an “external memory for your brain”
There is an expression that I find most fitting right now.
AI is an external memory for your brain.
・It's okay to forget
・You don't have to hold onto everything
・You can recall it later
Just by doing this, the burden of work becomes much lighter.
The hardest part of a side hustle is the state of “having too much to think about.”
AI is an entity that can take on a part of that.
It works better if you don't expect too much
Many people who stumble in AI side hustles either expect too much or are too afraid; it's one or the other.
AI is neither a savior nor an enemy.
“A partner that helps you without complaining”
That kind of distance is what allows for the longest relationship.
