* AI & "my job"

student questions

by a. teacher-learner

question: is AI "coming for" my coaching job?
answer: no.

question: will AI take my coaching job?
answer: hell yeah. 

 

AI will be (already is) more available than you. you will not 'beat' AI in availability or research capability. eventually, AI will be better at active listening (reflecting, question asking, summarizing, etc.). AI will reach-out to the client with motivational notes, encouragement, tips & feel-good feedback. AI will listen to how the client wants to be coached, and respond (in kind).

question: so... but... what can i do?

answer: care. care human-ly. relate human-ly. we'll still have to use AI to research, and we'll still have to listen actively. we'll still have to re-mind, motivate, and practice confidentiality. we'd better get better at all of these. the one thing that you will have (that a machine will not) is your you-nique you-ness.

answer: be well Now. get better. Now.
