Clear the Noise: How to Find Your AI Path
You have to clear the noise first in order to know which way to go with AI. It is hella noisy out here and it will get even louder.
I first was triggered by the noise, to take action though. The trigger was fear of not being good enough. We cannot live in this world without fear, it exists, and more so in things evolving massive evolutions such as this AI industrial purge of old systems, people doing certain things and an attempt at changing the world.
So here is the thing, this noise you hear everyday, the hype, the fear mongering all of it is real and on the other side of it, it is an illusion.
But in order to perceive what is true and what it isn’t. You must first respond to what is triggering you.
The AI Adoption Journey
Triggered
Fear hits: "AI will replace me!" Heart pounding, spinning thoughts.
Curious
"Wait, maybe it can help me?" First tentative steps toward possibility.
Investigative
Testing, learning, asking questions. Building your own perspective.
Integration
AI becomes a conscious tool that amplifies your unique essence.
"Follow your natural order of doing things. Your triggers are sacred guidance."
For me it was; “AI will replace your job” WTF I thought, “I don't have a job, I run a business” but still, it meant Ai is going to replace what I do. So I looked into it, while being triggered and afraid.
What do you mean? I won’t earn this way anymore? Something is coming to replace me and do what I love better and faster than me? What do you mean, is it a robot WTF is it? I was spinning and heart pounding. But then someone I know said they were using ChatGPT and how amazing it was, this AI, how it was helping them do massive amounts of work in a shorter time.
“Hmmm, hang on a minute, she did not say it was replacing her. Oh, wait, she said it helped her. Ohhh so, maybe it can HELP me?! Alright, let me lean in and try this ChatGPT.”
Sceptical, afraid and frustrated, I tried it.
Wow… what do you mean I just punched in a few lines of what I had in mind and asked it to complete it and it helped me. I edited what it sent and boom I am done.
When AI Becomes Lifeless
Ohhh… but be careful. Everything in moderation. Because it went from, “this AI helps me” to I will do it with AI quickly. Then, I noticed things were cold, did not invoke anything, the blogs felt lifeless, the reports started to feel monotonous.
We are people, we are moved by energy, emotion… energy in motion. AI writes well, but it has no energy like that of a human, YOUR unique and energetic print. This cannot be replaced by AI, clones, humanoids, nothing. Meaning YOU cannot be replaced. Not even another human can replace you because each of us is unique.
Know Yourself First
Do you get it? So, if AI can help you. If it cannot replace you. But it can do many jobs faster, sometimes better… Where does that leave you?
You have to lean into your true human self, and this is not an easy journey. I started 17 years ago and counting.
I believe, the first thing you can use AI for, is doing more of what you enjoy and follow your triggers. Don’t judge them, condemn them, run away from them… lean in. You will be amazed.
