The Human Advantage in AI: Factics, Not Fantasies
TL;DR – AI mirrors human choices, not independent intelligence.– Generalists and connectors benefit the most from AI.– Specialists gain within their fields but lack the ability to cross silos or think outside the box.– Inexperienced users risk harm because they cannot frame inputs or judge outputs.– The resource effect may reshape socioeconomic structures, shifting leverage […]
