Writers can count themselves as developers, so this message applies: developing content has a deeply human element that AI can’t emulate until it can "read the room."

To stay "AI-proof," now’s the time for people better recognize and share their unique perspectives.

Yes, yes, yes.

And another way to think about this is that the role of any teacher, any good teacher, is to teach themselves out of a job -- create enough people who can do, and practice on their own, the skills you teach that they no longer need your help.
The more I teach, and the more I play music, the more I think the role of the professor is primarily to teach students how to become experts at practicing.

Watch out -- the librarians are getting organized!
What Would It Look Like If Librarians Ran the Government Instead of These Fools?
Librarians are growing sick of censoring and defunding — so they’re running for office.
