This is the fifth video in the AI After 50 series.
A friend of mine runs a solo law practice. Five recruiters called him. Not one of them wanted him to write anything. The documents were the job for twenty years, and now the documents are the cheap part.
The value didn’t disappear. It moved up a floor. The tools got cheap. The diagnosis didn’t.
So if you’re the one being hired, stop defending the pie that’s shrinking. Get specific about the floor above it: what you can diagnose in the first ten minutes because you’ve seen it a hundred times, and proof you can run the machine that does the typing.
If you read Tuesday’s issue, it’s the same move from the other side of the table. The part of the job that was carrying information is going. The judgment stays.
Same disclosure as always, and it’s the first line of the video: that’s my AI avatar reading words I wrote.
Watch it here.
