@nishio: 💁🏻As Nishio said earlier, “I think GPT4 should post my Scrapbox digest for the past day with this icon as a prefix. I think it would be good if GPT4 posted my Scrapbox digest for the past day with this icon prefixed.
On Scrapbox, you can create custom emoji like , but not on Twitter, so I thought of something like that instead, and this is what I came up with.

nishio 💁🏻 If we divide the “jobs” in “AI takes jobs” into “problems” and “solutions”, an interesting perspective emerges. First, it is clear that AI will increase the productivity of “solutions” for “AI users”. But if the quantity of “problems” is limited, the price of “solutions” will be lower. Separate “jobs” in “AI takes jobs” into “problems” and “solutions.”
nishio 💁🏻 Using this concept, we can see why, for example, the work of tax accountants is susceptible to AI. Because even if the “solution” becomes easier, no one will say, “I’ll file my taxes twice because it’s twice as easy.” Since the demand for the problem does not increase, the price of the solution goes down.
nishio 💁🏻There are two conditions for this story: first, AI will increase the productivity of “solutions”; second, a cheap supply of “solutions” will The second is that the demand for “problems” will not increase even if “solutions” are supplied at a lower price. When these conditions are met, the phenomenon of AI taking jobs will occur. Impact ofAI
nishio 💁🏻 Let’s also consider the future of software engineers. Software engineers will probably be in a position to increase productivity. The situation is mixed depending on the type of business, but the situation will be better for the time being because “the problems to be solved outweigh the productivity of the solution” in the field where there are not enough resources for engineers.Software Engineer
nishio 💁🏻 For example, the “we refuse to customize for specific customers because it is not cost-effective” will not be refused if productivity increases. In the long run, it may make it harder for new companies to enter the market if the software vendors they already have contracts with start offering customization for their customers at a lower cost.
nishio 💁🏻The expression “AI takes jobs” may actually be a misunderstanding caused by the low resolution of jobs. If jobs are divided into “problems” and “solutions,” the phenomenon of AI increasing the productivity of “solutions” will cause prices to fall. But only if the demand for the problem does not increase.AIjob resolution
nishio 💁🏻 fleshing out the concept of work can help us understand how AI will change the way we work and what impact it will have. ai will not take away jobs. Rather, it can streamline the problem-solving process and lower prices.AI’s impact onJobToBeDone
nishio 💁🏻The evolution of AI will change how we perceive and carry out our work. ai can help us solve more problems more efficiently. Let’s work toward the future. And it’s important to understand and adapt to the changes AI will bring.AI’s futureefficiency
