So, is artificial intelligence changing our world forever? And if it is, what do humans need to be good at in order to survive? Here's a multi-millionaire who's talking about suggestions for the younger generation on how to do personal development to make sure you're relevant and can thrive in the era of AI.

He's not talking about anything technical, anything coding, or anything that is, uh, um, you know, highly sophisticated. The number-one skill he mentions is storytelling. He says if he could give any type of suggestion to young people, it would be how to tell a story.

Storytelling really is just communicating, being able to converse with someone, and sharing an idea or perspective. The type of storytelling may not matter, he says, but it is the ability to write well and to articulate ideas that's the key. Even before AI, a lot of actual humans were losing the ability to articulate ideas and convey them to another person. Communicating is becoming more difficult and a struggle.
So if you have anything that you work on to become resilient and thrive in the era of AI, it's being able to convey an idea clearly so that another person can understand what you're saying. You don't want to lose the ability to communicate. Think of all the history, wisdom, and knowledge that were lost in historical times because there was no way to save that information, and some of it was passed on from story to story through generations.

But with AI, even though we have the storage of digital records, there may be a loss in clear communication because the ability to articulate and describe a story and present ideas is lost. And he's putting his money behind it. This is a marketing person who's spending a lot of money on marketing to communicate ideas.
Let me know what your thoughts are on the subject of having actual humans talk to one another.
