A note on the reality of “good enough” when it comes to AI automation in companies
Something that doesn’t get discussed enough is that for many companies the AI will simply create work that is good enough. It doesn’t have to be better than what we would do in every instance, it just has to be good enough to make the cost savings the more valuable variable in the consideration.
The future we thought was secured through sacrifice and the right credentials now feels uncertain.
Nobody is coming to save us.
Not our employers. Not the institutions that sold us those credentials. Not the government. Not anyone.
The playbook we followed is being rewritten in real-time. And the only people who will thrive in what comes next are the ones who write their own.
