101/365 | ¥10M Job Challenge - 2 Things in the World of AI That Will Never Change
Human warmth The uniqueness of innovation On Human Warmth This doesn’t just refer to human nature. After all, machines can learn, and one day they may closely mimic human thought. However, even so, the genuine warmth of a real person, along with the experiences of being born, growing old, facing illness, and eventually passing on—along with each individual’s unique life experiences—can never be replaced. On the Uniqueness of Innovation While I’m not an AI expert, my understanding is that current AI operates by reasoning based on existing data to provide answers, and generative AI essentially imitates and generates outputs based on prompts—all still grounded in existing information. When there’s no existing data—or when it’s something even we as humans have never encountered or learned about—things get more interesting. As the world moves forward and more people rely on AI-generated results, the ratio of high-quality, unique works (articles, films, music) to average, mundane ones may shift. If that ratio was originally 20:80, it might move to 10:90 or even 1:99 in the future. In other words, those who are skilled at creating unique, differentiated value will likely become even more valuable in the future, while those who simply rely on AI for quick outputs will see the gap between the two grow increasingly wider. Similarly, some use AI as a tool for low-cost production, while others use it to learn, enhance productivity, or draw inspiration to create unique works. When AI first emerged, a common phrase was, “Engineers won’t be replaced, but engineers who don’t use AI will be.” I think this statement is true, but it’s not the full picture. Blindly relying on AI won’t replace experienced and highly efficient engineers either. In the end, don’t worry too much—continuous learning remains a timeless principle in human society.
