From the perspective that “AI will eat everything”, Tyler Cohen suggests that this will weed out the mediocre creatives (developers, artists, musicians, whatever). Put another way:

> The returns to factual knowledge are falling, continuing a trend that started with databases, search engines and Wikipedia. It is no longer so profitable to be a lawyer who knows a large amount of accumulated case law. Instead, the skills of synthesis and persuasion are more critical for success.[1]

As well as being simple “exceptional”, returns to being extroverted in the workplace will increase. Those who can show they’re distinguishable from bots will prosper.

Tl;dr: focus on interpersonal skills and persuasion.
