There's a huge gap between the skills I have and the skills I'd like to have. Is that true for you, too?
I can't have a conversation in Spanish about installing a washer and dryer, even though I spent over 1000 days with Duolingo. But my AI can translate in realtime! It co-created more rapport with the two installers who did a fine job, and we smiled a lot more together once we broke the language barrier.
Because guess what? Our gaps are barriers.
AI is becoming a potent way to get past barriers and open us to co-creating in ways we're not (yet) savvy.
I'll get a song idea, really just a few bars of lyrics. I can even, sorta, sing them out. Then... I hit a barrier. Not only do I not know the key I just sang, I can't name the melody notes. Clever rhythms and backing instruments are beyond me.
Before AI I wrote ONE song. One. With extensive help and co-creating with my music coach. It meant a LOT to me to get there, but without his help it was super hard to write #2.
Since Suno.com AI, I've co-created a dozen or more songs that would not have existed without me — not without my input (prompting) and without me selecting from different options.
Does that make me a "musician" as part of my identity?
Perhaps that is what a lot of the angst is right now around AI. We as humans have been TRAINED to describe ourselves by what we DO.
"What do you do (for a living)?"
THAT is going to be confronted by tools that do many of those things — better (or at least differently useful), faster, cheaper.
And yes, that includes emotional freedom coaching.
Cathy and I are not pretending to "know the answers." If you are in an industry that will be affected by AI (and every industry will, unless it has also somehow also not been affected by the internet), we believe that those with real skills, emotional vitality, and curiosity will find opportunities to remove barriers and co-create in ways previously blocked.
There's an abundance of co-creative options that are opening up!
There are dozens of ways AI already helps me explore that I could not have afforded to pay money to get done in the past. Or it would have taken "too long" even if I had the skills. (One example is workshop transcripts. Used to be $1/minute or $90 for just one of these real skills sessions. Now it is essentially free. Which means you can download it. You can feed it into your own AI! You can ask it to pull out pieces. Summarize it differently. Even craft a personalized plan of action just for you...)
Today we will tap on the natural fears that arise when there is such monumental change happening NOW. This is coming in the next 1-5 years in ways few in the western world won't be touched. We hope you'll join us... or engage with us on this topic in the community center. Or both! Everyone gets the recording who signs up.
