When AI makes one thing easy to do, it’s always good to assume that will equally be the case for everyone else. If it’s the case for everyone else, then that means competitive forces will ensure that resources move to new or other areas that create differentiation. If AI makes building software easier, then there will be a relative increase in resources going into sales, marketing, and customer success, because standing out or going deeper with customers else becomes even more important. This will also apply to lots of other areas of work. If you automate getting financial advice and insights, then the differentiation is in client engagement. And on and on. Just ask yourself: if everyone else does exactly what I do with this technology, how will I stand out from everyone else? That’s what happens next.
当 AI 让某件事变得更容易做时，最好总是假设：对其他所有人来说，同样也会如此。如果对所有人都是这样，那就意味着竞争力量会确保资源流向新的或其他能够创造差异化的领域。如果 AI 让构建 software（软件）变得更容易，那么投入到 sales、marketing 和 customer success 的资源就会相对增加，因为在那种情况下，脱颖而出或与客户建立更深层次的联系会变得更加重要。这一点也适用于许多其他工作领域。如果你把获取 financial advice 和 insights 自动化了，那么差异化所在的就是 client engagement。而且这种情况会不断重复。你只需要问自己：如果其他所有人都用这项技术做着和我完全一样的事，我要怎样才能从所有人中脱颖而出？接下来发生的就是这个。
