Why Human Expertise is Irreplacable in an Age of Algorithms

Hi Friends

Let's explore the dance between AI-assisted decisions and human experience.

Imagine: An AI recommends a crucial business move. The data looks solid, but something feels off. That pause? It's your experience talking.

While AI crunches data brilliantly, it can't match your years in the field. Your experience lets you:

• See context beyond data

• Spot subtle patterns AI might miss

• Apply emotional intelligence

• Navigate ethical nuances

It's not AI versus you—it's AI plus you.

The challenge? Balancing AI insights with your instincts. When to trust data, when to trust gut? We're all calibrating this, and it takes practice.

Remember, your experience remains priceless. AI's here to augment, not replace your judgment. It simply can’t do that.

Will ASI - Artificial Super-Intelligence - be here within the next decade? Softbank’s CEO says ‘yes’. “Son painted a picture of a future where AI far surpasses human intelligence, potentially revolutionizing life as we know it. Son asserted that by 2030, AI could be “one to 10 times smarter than humans,”

What will we do with our newly freed-up mind space as AI takes over more of our workflow, handling many time-consuming tasks? How will we adapt, evolve our skills, and redefine how we grow and contribute?

SKILL SHIFT

BUILD YOUR TOOL STACK (WEEK 3): MANAGING COSTS

The cost of AI tools can run amuck if not contained! Before you know it, each $8, $25, and $49 price-tag that seemed so reasonable when you signed up for the plan, has collectively spiraled to several hundred dollars or more, every month!

But it needn’t be this way 😄 The trick is to be strategic in your purchases.

• Always try free or freemium plans first, until fit and value are proven.

• If that isn’t enough, then subscribe for a month or two, to test it further.

• If you love the tool, and feel you’ll stick with it, consider purchasing a discounted annual license

• BUT if you are only going to use periodically, then buy it month by month, and cancel or pause when not needed.

• IMPORTANT TIP! Check out software marketplaces like AppSumo’s new Five Taco.com where you can pick up bargain lifetime licenses, and even get credit rebates within a 60-day window if you return the purchase. These credits are then banked and can be used for future purchases.

• Evolve your tool stack. Continuously add, cancel, switch and try new tools, ensuring you track all costs on a rolling basis. As an example, I’ve bought nearly 20 tools on an annual or lifetime license, 10 on monthly subs, and 25+ sit in my “canceled” tracker.
