> How do you give your kids some certainty in an age that is lacking certainty?

I don’t think this has much if anything to do with AI. It’s like my parents asking for advice on raising a kid during the age of the Pentium chip.

You teach them to be comfortable with uncertainty. One of the most valuable skills that a huge number of adults lack.

Show them that most things don’t matter a great deal in the long run. Let them do what they want in most reasonable cases.

Tell them you don’t know when you don’t now. Show them that being wrong is good.

At the time of the Pentium people could work as graphic artists, without competition from generative AI models. Education was the differentiator, that used to be a settled question.

People can still work as graphic artists, there will likely just be fewer of them.

Same as how Pentiums ended up reducing the number of some jobs and increasing the number of other jobs. Newspaper related jobs went down by a lot while computer programmer jobs went up by a lot.

There’s always competition coming from somewhere — and there’s always opportunity to be found.

What’s in your head (call that education if you like) remains the differentiator.
