Winning the Game: Essentials skills to survive AI, LLMs and Automation – DataDrivenInvestor

We are all living somewhere in between these words. Bounded by a legitimate fear of what's true and whats fake, it is fascinating and frightening at the same time to witness these technological miracles. I only thought CGI existed in movies. But like seriously! Is this even happening, I mean what went so right that AI today can make reality morph?

Back in 2019 when I was 1 year deep into conversation designing, somebody could have asked me at gunpoint, can I imagine a world in 4 to 5 years where all your content needs will be taken care of, realistic images can be generated with just a few lines of text and your job getting haunted by AI? I would have thought they had too many pints last night. How can someone be so ready to figure out the possibilities these AI systems would bring?

It took me a whole lot of time and thinking to figure a way out rather way in this changing wind and rising tides. I even rode the layoff train. What worked out for me was a small mindset that is: I have the skills to navigate. What are those you might ask! In this article, Ive tried accumulating my thoughts to live the big buck dream. Unless you are a genius, an awesome content creator, or blessed with a utopian life, these pointers might help:

Dont think the winning shot requires you to work hard. That is already getting taken care by AI. Work smart. Swap out those outdated strategies stuck to your head. Dont just strive for perfection by rigor alone. Show you are unique in your approach and thought process. People love these traits. Learn, unlearn and relearn the world and what is changing.

AI might get you from point A to point B but the road taken might not always be the road to be taken. Consequence of actions is still something only we humans can determine and figure out. Your emotional intelligence is the ultimate playlist. As these innovations create more independence and dependency on tech, its high time to connect with people and understand emotions. Only then you can bring that unique human touch to roles where algorithms fear to tread.

As AI takes center stage, ethical considerations become the heartbeat of the party. You need to navigate the moral maze of bias, transparency, and responsible tech. There are tons of examples where AI getting biased and saying something its not meant to. While these AI systems play around, someone needs to mark the boundaries and create rules of engagement, something that has created a lot of interest and in turn opportunities.

Think about building bridges not just cubicles. Forget traditional silos, dress codes and strict log-in times. Its time to collaborate with everyone around you. Master the art of interdisciplinary teamwork, something that is not only good for any business but its gonna take you places. Cue the fireworks!

Nothing beats the aura of a creative flair in your work. AI can automate, LLMs can generate but nothing can bring sense without your creative virtuoso. It's a priceless skill, something no one can take it away from you. Just perfect it with time. Thrive in style.

Today I work as Senior Experience Designer with Publicis Sapient. I design conversations everyday. Automation and AI didnt make me helpless, oh darn well it could. My bridge is into creating experiences for people who rely on humans to figure out kinds of stuff unless done by AI. Wish this helps!!
