Hey!

Welcome to HumanAI—a newsletter for entrepreneurs, business owners, and curious minds who want to think bigger, move faster, and build with AI… without drowning in technical BS.

If you’re new here, the AI Gods said you should probably catch up on past editions right here.

BANG. BANG. BANG.

My neighbor’s been remodeling for three days straight.
It’s like living inside a drum solo played by Thor.

If this roof doesn’t collapse on my head mid-email, you’ll probably get to finish this newsletter.
If it does… well, you’ll know what happened. 😵‍💫

Anyway…

All this noise reminded me of another kind of banging that’s been rattling around in my brain lately.

A quote from Barack Obama that I can’t shake:
“AI isn’t just disrupting coders, it’s disrupting meaning.”

Read that again.

Not tasks. Not workflows.
Meaning.

And the follow-up hits even harder:
“It may be that everybody, not just blue-collar workers, not just factory workers, are going to have to figure out,
Where do I get a job?
How do I get enough income to feed my family?”

He’s not just talking about job loss.
He’s talking about identity loss.
Purpose drift.

Because when AI starts doing the thing you trained your whole life to do…
What’s left?

That’s the storm we’re entering.

And if you don’t want to get swept away,
you need to learn how to build with AI, not compete against it.

Good thing you’re reading this newsletter.
My whole goal? Helping you adapt to the new world of AI in a simple, human, practical way.

Let’s go!

🧠 HUMAN INSPIRATION: When They Were Afraid to Flip the Switch

When electricity first arrived in American homes in the late 1800s, people didn’t cheer.
They panicked.

Newspapers warned about fires, electrocutions, even death from simply flipping a switch.
In some hotels, staff had to turn on the lights because guests were too afraid to touch them.

And yet…

By the 1920s, electricity had reshaped the modern world:

• Factories worked 24/7

• Radios connected millions

• Fridges replaced ice blocks

• Nighttime was no longer dark

It didn’t just power machines.
It rewired society.

And at first, most people didn’t understand it.
They just plugged in and watched their world change.

Now?
AI is following the same path.

Another invisible force.
Misunderstood.
Feared.
Unstoppable.

The question isn’t if it will change everything.

It’s how fast you’ll learn to plug into it.

💬 What Gates and Obama Just Said (And Why It Matters)

🎙️ Bill Gates:

“The era we are just starting is that intelligence (or expertise) is rare… With AI, over the next decade, that will become free. Commonplace.”

Let that sink in.

Genius-level skills, once locked in the minds of top doctors and teachers, will be downloadable.
Accessible to everyone, everywhere.
Zero marginal cost.

“Great medical advice, great tutoring… We don’t have enough professionals. AI solves that.”

That’s the upside.

But Gates also added: “This is a bit scary.”

Why?

Because it will redefine what we call a “job.”
He asked aloud:
“Should we only work 2-3 days a week?”
As if it’s no longer obvious what “work” even is.

🎙️ Barack Obama:

“AI will be more impactful than any tech we’ve ever seen. And it’s coming faster.”

He didn’t sugarcoat it.
He said current AI tools already outperform most software developers.

Not just “grunt work.”
We’re talking about high-paying, high-status jobs.

The scariest part?

“Every single one of us will have to rethink:
How do I earn a living? What gives me purpose? What’s fair anymore?”

That’s not a doomer take.
It’s a warning to prepare now, while there’s still a gap.

Lucky you… HERE’S HOW YOU CAN DO IT!!!

⚡ AI REAL-LIFE USE: How to Prepare Today

If you’re feeling anxious, you’re not wrong.
But panic never helped anyone.

Here’s how to use this shift to your advantage now (Remember Sun Tzu’s saying: "In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity."):

🔹 1. Treat Intelligence Like Electricity

It’s no longer rare. It’s infrastructure.

Instead of guarding your knowledge…
Build systems that use AI to do the heavy lifting.

Prompt your favourite GPT:

PRO TIP: Nowadays most of the GPTs currently have a "deep research" feature.

1. When writing your prompt select “Deep Research”.
   

   

2. Paste your prompt and hit send.

It’ll pull from trusted sources, summarize the landscape, and even surface contrarian takes, faster than any Google search rabbit hole.

Test it with something you’re stuck on right now.
You’ll be shocked how far one prompt can go.

🔹 2. Build a Personal AI Stack

You don’t need a degree in AI.
You need a stack of tools that extend your output.

Start with:

• ChatGPT / Grok (custom agents for thinking/writing and image creating)

• Zapier / Make (automation)

• Notion / Airtable (knowledge systems)

• Gemini / Claude (longer analysis tasks and less robotic writing tbh)

Prompt for GPT:

🔹 3. Think Systems, Not Tasks

Soon, the question isn’t can you do it?
It’s can you design the system that does it for you?

This is synthetic leverage.

Ask GPT:

Build one tiny automation.
Then build another.
Repeat.

This is how the new economy will be won…

🚀 FOR THE BOLD ONES… The Collapse of the Resume Era

If intelligence is no longer scarce...
Then credentials stop mattering.

What replaces them?

• Critical Thinking

• Output

• Speed

• Taste

• System design

• Distribution

• Empathy

These (and more) are the skills of the future.
I’m working on a list and preparing a full breakdown of each of the skills of the future to share with you!

Soon, we won’t say: “I’m a senior strategist.”

We’ll say: “I run a system that generates 10 validated strategies a day, 24/7.”

That’s the difference between legacy roles…
And AI-native functionality.

Don’t just be the person who does the job.
Be the person who builds the machine that does the job..

Final Thoughts

AI isn’t “coming.”
It’s already in the room.

Gates said intelligence will be free.
Obama said jobs won’t be safe.

Both are right.

So what are you going to do about it?

Here’s my take:
We don’t beat this wave by running from it.
We ride it.
We build with it.
We rewire ourselves as HumanAI.

Because the future won’t reward what you know.
It’ll reward how fast you learn, adapt and build with what’s now free.

Okay!
The roof didn’t fall on me…
So I can go back to appreciating the BANG BANG ORCHESTRAL vibes of my neighbor’s home renovation symphony.

But hey… maybe it was the perfect soundtrack after all.

Because that’s exactly what this moment feels like:

Loud. Relentless. Disruptive.

But also… full of potential energy.

This is the noise before the new rhythm kicks in.

And the ones who learn to move with it…
Those who build with the beat instead of covering their ears…
They’ll be the ones who shape what’s next.

See you in the next edition.

Stay active, stay sharp.
