 Thoughts which I want to pass on to my kids:

================================

My Dears,

 When you will be grown up, the nature of work will be completely changed, Our generation and previous couple of generations made living and fortunes primarily knowing "How" part of any task. However, with advent of new technologies (read #AI) which will keep improving in future; the knowledge of "How to do something" is going to be commoditized and no longer will be a competitive advantage. 

What is going to matter is "What" and "Why" of any work. So whenever you take any task in hand, try to understand the "Why" of that task first rather than thinking about "How" to do the task. For "How", Large Language Models are already here; but I believe they still can't match the creativity of human mind. "Why" of any important task is going to be domain of humans only for a foreseeable future.

Develop a habit of dig deeper and don't become a shallow thinker. Once you start gathering different perspectives, you will realize that you have something which is still can't be matched by LLMs. Creativity, inductive thinking and empathy are going to be human domains for long. Keep working on those aspects while leveraging the advancements of technology.

Yours,

Papa !
