I’ve been thinking a lot about “AI resistant” tasks, and it actually depends a lot on us.
Before reading this I certainly would have said teaching your kid to ride a bike was an AI resistant task. Apparently not.
I also would have said reading bedtime stories to your kid was AI resistant but evidently they can do that too.
It’s understandable that a business wants to squeeze as much productivity from its workers as possible, and a business that strives to make work a joy for its employees risks losing out to one that’s focused on the bottom line.
But will we be able to resist optimizing the joy out of our personal lives as well?
