The hope AI will make your life easier - LinkedIn Survey
AI is seen as a way to unlock fresh opportunities for work-life balance and skill enhancement, not just for tech pros.
45% of global professionals believe AI will make their jobs easier.
Many believe that AI will open up more free time, which workers say they’ll use to improve work-life balance (45%) and learn new skills (39%), while 44% of professionals plan to use AI to focus on tasks they enjoy more. 30% also say if they had more time back they’d use it to strengthen their professional networks.
LinkedIn Finds Professionals Are Hesitant Yet Excited About the AI Era at Work
Some early adopters might find AI makes things easier, but most will not. This is evident in that all technological efficiency innovations have promised we will work less; however, in reality, we always work more.
This is due to increased productivity always resulting in increased competition. The broader the impacts of the productivity gains the greater the distribution of new and greater competition.
If you are now capable of doing more, you will be expected to do more. Everyone else will be doing more and therefore you will fall behind if you do not. Furthermore, everything that becomes easy also becomes devalued. So the race begins to find new value on top of that which is being rapidly commoditized.
But many are AI Anxious, with more than one-third worried about falling behind on AI at work. Even more interesting, 56% say they don't know how to use AI at work.
Half (49%) of professionals globally are worried they should know more about AI than they do, and 39% are feeling overwhelmed by the amount of change AI may bring to their jobs in the future.
The concerns of falling behind, captured in the survey, emphasize this point. The new rat race begins as we attempt to stay relevant ahead of the ever advancing technological curve. It is a gap that can’t be closed, as the AI innovation is the beginning of technological evolution that does not stop.
Autogenerate entire social media campaign from a keyword
Now we have AI to create the entirety of a social media campaign. Articles, videos, memes, images, scheduling of posts and automatic posting across all social media platforms from only a keyword.
The entire internet is going to be filled with massive amounts of auto generated content. As if it wasn’t already hard enough to find quality content, it is going to get far worse.
Contrary to the message that the builders of these tools promote, it is not going to make your life easier or bring effortless wealth. You can’t simply put your business on autopilot. Anything produced in such massive quantities becomes devalued until worthless. It is only going to make it harder for all of us to be seen above all the noise it generates.
Youtube affirms it is committed to you knowing less
Doctor Eric Berg calls out Youtube’s latest policy change in which they have stated they are going to ensure only the WHO approved viewpoints are what people see on Youtube. Everything else will be algorithmically censored.
Moving forward, YouTube will streamline dozens of our existing medical misinformation guidelines to fall under three categories – Prevention, Treatment, and Denial. These policies will apply to specific health conditions, treatments, and substances where content contradicts local health authorities or the World Health Organization (WHO).
Experts are no longer experts in this new world order. We no longer seek them for consultation. Instead, they now make edicts for which we are to obey their righteous decrees.
No compass through the dark exists without hope of reaching the other side and the belief that it matters …
