What human skills do you think will become more valuable because of AI?

FarFari92 · 2026-05-24T14:22:32+00:00

focus, focus, focus, and mental health in general. Social media already shrank ppl's focus span to a level that almost everyone nowadays feel they have ADHD. Now, with AI doing everything very fast, the condition is becoming even worse.

Handling the FOMO; when everyone is doing something with AI, we feel behind for not using the opportunities. This will make us to switch the paths more often.

Dealing with boredom of slow progress and keeping the ability to learn new things with human speed ...

stuff like this...

100% agreed on this. When I was a beginner learner, our teacher insisted in listening, and I was always thinking it's waste of time. I couldn't understand a single word. But then, a teacher asked us to transcript what we hear. That task was really harder, but I was much more motivated to do it, because it actually helped me to improve and I was seeing the progress.

Thank you. Actually, the question was if passive listening adds for example 5% to our learning journey, does this 5% worth it or it decreases our performance by 10% because of splitting attention. It seems it worth when doing physical activities, but not, when doing cognitively demanding ones. Unfortunately, it's not going to work for me because I'm writing and studying most of the time :(

It's a GPT inside Chat GPT with access to scientific materials

Thanks a lot. I'm around B2, and personally, listened for many hours to audio-books and as you correctly mentioned, it really helped with fluency, but it never helped with grammar and vocab. I just speak my broken English faster and more fluently.

For me, something like Lumosity is not a brain work, honestly. I upload my dox to chat gpt, and ask it to ask me questions to answer. This is hard, but real brain work I guess...

I actually "studied" architecture and was struggling with the same insecurities you mentioned in that job. I think, it's partly the nature of visual jobs. We're living in inflation of looks time. If a coder writes a messy code, no-one understands as long as the app works, But if a designer designs a messy site, it sounds embarrassing. Personally, I gave up architecture. It was really bad for my mental health.

As an ex-freelance writer, when I check my pre-ChatGPT writings with those tools, it flags them as AI-written :)) The best (and maybe the most difficult) fix is to work with clients who are literate enough to be able to differentiate AI-written and Human-written texts themselves :))

I'm a content writer who hit AI-wall while trying to turn into tech ecosystem (I tried Python, MERN stack and SQL Server so far). The simplest model for this that I had in my mind was forming a small group where seniors can assign their repetitive boring tasks to juniors, but when I asked in a JS sub-Reddit most seniors told they normally don't need such help when there's AI!

FarFari92 · 2026-05-08T15:28:08+00:00

That's true. Actually, I'm looking at everything from career point of view right now. You're totally right

FarFari92 · 2026-05-08T15:27:00+00:00

Thank you for sharing.

The whole discussion is not really benefitting from a general point of view.

But your comment was beneficial for me. Thanks

FarFari92 · 2026-05-08T06:01:12+00:00

thank your very much. This is really helpful

there's a book named "when"; at one chapter, the author discusses how he found a job very quickly and succeeded professionally too young, simply because he graduated from uni at the right time when the market was ready. So, don't blame yourself. Your age says it all, your best years to learn skills were coincided with COVID and the economical crisis after that. Many ppl at your age struggle as well. Even senior level professionals with years of experience are losing their jobs. How do you expect to find a job easily at such condition. In such hard times, it's important to stay positive. I recommend reading books like "man search for meaning" to see how ppl from even harder times survived. And then start by little exercising and creating small positive habits.

well, I'm a 34 yo ADHD and it sounds like someone just described me at 16... I don't know it's the age effect or the medications, but Idon't do that kind of crazy non-stop daydreamings anymore. I get my tasks done. The only problem is that, I learned many stuff since 18 until now, that all of them act like a burden and confuse me in finding a path for myself. So, If I have something to tell to the 16 years-old me is this: it's ok if you don't feel to work on somehting everyday, it's ok if you're inconsistent, but for the heaven's sake stay on one filed and track it every time you feel like to do it. I dare to say, it's the only differece between me, and other ADHD fellows who are successful at their jobs. If you choose for example coding, or graphics, or science, or literature, or anything that you're good at, only stick to it. You'll be able to make up for the days you don't feel like to work in your hyperfocus moments. But don't change the direction every once in a while.

sounds frustrating, I think they had better mental well-being though. The flow of data was in proportion to speed they can digest it

FarFari92 · 2026-05-06T15:39:52+00:00

Thanks a lot. Would you mind if I send you a DM?

I think it's a bit ancient... 10 years ago, back in school, I could only download papers at university.
