If you are fearing AI to replace you, you are identifying yourself only as just one craft, or one skill. Become a jack of all trades and leverage AI as your advantage. Become a master of tools, and build new tools. AI is just a tool. So use it as one. Be the master.

And I think a part of finding your authentic voice is accepting the fact that when you see yourself, you may not like yourself fully. But you have to learn how to love yourself.

And go, I can love myself and still not like everything about me. But what I will love is that I'm willing to grow and change and develop as a human being. That's when you find your authentic voice.

“Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.”
