“There is a kind of thinking that can only be done by writing.”

“Writing is not just a way to convey ideas, but also a way to have them.”

Okay this is actually proof of your argument. I’ve had these thoughts for so long but you articulated it in a way I couldn’t. Writing really does something to your brain!

Genuinely spectacular post. Rewired how I think about the future and definitely helped ease off some of that anxiety I got (AI taking over).

Ive labeled myself as an overthinker for long ,even wrote poems then stopped abruptly coz maybe i consumed way more than creating or maybe i thought more about the filtered thoughts i should have rather than acknowledging "my"thoughts or perspectives ...but now ill be writing again in sha Allah

More thoughts more knowing myself more skills you talked about

Thanks buddy !

The only two skills worth your time in the next 6-12 months are learning how to learn and learning how to write....NOW.... GRATITUDE ❣️....

I’d summarize it to learning to input and output effectively, same as diet for health

It's not writing or learning that makes you future-proof. It's your ability to zoom in and have the precision to act on the minute molecules that make something come to life

It's when you can think deeply about an idea, a decision, and see how it's going to impact a thousand others.

When people were crazy about prompt engineering, they realised how important it was to be specific. They realised how important it is to spread across the membrane of the knowledge they have - They find gaps in it and they could fill it with AI.

That's why the most successful AI users became the people that already were field experts. They were able to not only impart the context they had but also fill in the gaps with ai

AI is just a tool. The problem becomes when you use a 30 inch katana when you need a scalpel.
