My mini SurvAIval Insight of the week: Developing a Personal Brand in the Age of AI.
As AI takes over more of the routine tasks, it's more important than ever to focus on what makes you unique (a quite difficult task in some cases, I know!).
Your personal brand—shaped by your experiences, insights, and approach to problem-solving—is what sets you apart from both AI and other professionals. It’s a chance to highlight your humanity and what you bring to the table that no machine can.
Start by figuring out what really makes you stand out in your field. What have you learned or experienced that gives you a different perspective? What skills or insights do you have that AI can’t replicate? Share those things—whether through social media, a personal website, or a blog. And don’t just stay behind a screen—engage with your community, both online and in person.
Ultimately, your personal brand isn’t just about what you do; it’s about how and why you do it.
This sense of purpose is what can make a difference between you and our friends, the bots.
Let that passion and purpose shine through in everything you share!
The chart of the week: OpenAI’s ChatGPT-o1 capabilities
The jump from GPT-4.0 to 01, especially in complex subjects like math, coding, and science, shows AI's growing capability to perform at or above expert human levels.
Implications for the future
Automation of Expert-Level Work: These advancements suggest that tasks requiring deep reasoning, such as advanced coding and scientific analysis, can increasingly be automated, potentially shifting the roles of professionals in these fields.
Personalized AI Assistance: With these models reaching near-human or superhuman levels of reasoning, individuals may soon have AI assistants capable of handling highly specialized tasks, democratizing access to expertise, like coding for example.
Now coding is more accessible, allowing anyone to build web apps or personal projects with ease, paving the way for personal, disposable code.
Acceleration of Innovation: As AI continues to improve, industries like software development and scientific research could see an explosion in productivity and innovation, with AI handling complex tasks that previously required human experts.
