Summary

If AI can write, code, and think cheaper than you — what's left? Your edge isn't intelligence anymore. It's taste, focus, and emotional depth.

0:28.5	Tax rules apply. Let's start with a question that should make you uncomfortable. If AI can write better than you,
0:34.4	draw better. Code faster, diagnoses diseases more accurately than you,
0:39.3	then what is left? What is your and my edge as a human? And today I want to get into that
