So much about this seems inauthentic. The post itself. The experience. The content produced. I wouldn’t like to be on the other end of the production of this content.
This just sounds like a normal day for someone who does research and analysis in 2025.
Where do you think expert analysis comes from?
Talk to experts, gather data, synthesize, output. Researchers have been doing this for a long time. There's a lot of grunt work LLM's can really help with, like writing scripts to collect data from webpages.
However, as this thread demonstrates repeatedly, using LLMs effectively is about knowing what questions to ask, and what to put into the LLM alongside the questions.
The people who pay me to do what I do could do it themselves, but they choose to pay me to do it for them because I have knowledge they don’t have, I can join the dots between things that they can’t, and I have access to people they don’t have access to.
AI won’t change any of that - but it allows me to do a lot more work a lot more quickly, with more impact.
So yeah, at the point that there’s an AI model that can find and select the relevant datasets, and can tell the user what questions to ask - when often they don’t know the questions they need to have answered, then yes, I’ll be out of a job.
But more likely I’ll have built that tool for my particular niche. Which is more and more what I’m doing.
AI gives me the agency to rapidly test and prototype ideas and double down on the things that work really well, and refine the things that don’t work so brilliantly.
