When AGI arrives, the biggest risk is not the people who have avoided AI. It is the ones who used it wrong.
Jensen Huang made an interesting point recently. 20 years ago, software developers were considered untouchable. High IQ, creative, irreplaceable. Now they are the first jobs being disrupted.
Demis Hassabis and Dario Amodei recently debated what the world looks like after AGI. The part that stuck with me was the self-training loop. When AI can fully develop and improve itself without human input, what is actually left for us?
Not just jobs. What does human intelligence even mean at that point?
The optimistic answer is that humans shift to higher order work. Judgment, creativity, relationships, accountability. AI executes, humans decide what is worth executing.
The pessimistic answer is that the transition happens faster than most people can adapt. A small group uses AI to become extraordinarily capable. Everyone else slowly loses the skills that made them valuable without realizing it is happening.
But the uncomfortable truth is that the people most at risk are not the ones who avoid AI. They are the ones who use it heavily without maintaining their own thinking alongside it. The erosion is quiet and gradual, and you do not notice it until it is already done.
So the question is not really about AGI arriving. It is about what you are doing right now to make sure your thinking stays yours.
What do you think actually survives? Creativity? Judgment? Something else entirely?
