I just realized the people who'll do fine in an AI world aren't the fastest adopters, they're the ones who still think before they answer - Silicon Canals

"The people who'll do fine in this new world aren't the fastest adopters. They're not the ones with the slickest workflows or the cleverest prompts. They're the ones who still think before they answer."

"The pause was where most of the actual value of being a knowledge worker came from. The technical skill of producing the answer was relatively cheap. The judgment that happened in the pause was the expensive part."

"What's quietly happened in the last two years is that the pause has gotten shorter for almost everyone. It's now possible to fill that space with a tool."

A founder relied on an AI tool for strategic decision-making, outsourcing his thinking process. This trend reflects a broader shift where the pause for reflection in knowledge work has diminished. The pause, once crucial for thoughtful consideration and deeper insights, is now often filled with quick AI responses. The real value in knowledge work lies in the judgment exercised during this pause, which is becoming less common as reliance on AI increases.
