> We've lost all sense of judgment of what makes someone a professional or expert [...] Well you see, everybody is equal, especially in the age of AI which is the great cognitive equalizer (in the same way gunpowder and firearms equalized one's capacity for violence). There is no such thing as individual expertise now; expertise is soon to become the exclusive domain of AI. So yes, in the future, the only thing that will matter is hype, marketing, and how good of an "ideas guy" you are. Surface appearances don't need to have anything real underneath - that can just be synthesized and backfilled as needed, on demand, by the AI.

> Well you see, everybody is equal, especially in the age of AI which is the great cognitive equalizer (in the same way gunpowder and firearms equalized one's capacity for violence). There is no such thing as individual expertise now; expertise is soon to become the exclusive domain of AI. That is right, and it's a terrible shame because society has been built upon the uniqueness of individuals. The loss of that will be a very bit psychological hit to human beings and make life seem much more meaningless. Because in reality, it's demeaning to be an orchestrator of AI, and after the novelty of it wears off we will all be just pulling levers, having lost the uniqueness of our culture and spirit.
