My Raw Thoughts on AI, Business & Loneliness

Hey, welcome back. So guys, this was this is my second take. Actually, I've been talking to this little digital camera for the last 20 minutes, just ranting about my life, questioning my life, my business, my my existential crisis, anything that is basically you you can think about.

But yeah, I I just thought I I want to share what I took from this reflection. I think we have to adapt to the AI evolution we are currently facing right now because AI will will be your your employee basically, right? AI agents. I mean, there's so many different AIs. Who the [ __ ] are we even talking to? I think you will have your personal AI. It can come in many forms and this personal AI has the possibility to create agents, has possibility to create any kind of things, you know. Um, and I don't know will it be like a digital version of yourself? I don't know.

What I do know is that times are moving by fast. Every minute I've been looking into cloth skills and open cloth and and many others AIS I've been thinking like how the [ __ ] are we going to adapt to it? Honestly, it's like people who grew up without phones when the phones came okay they knew okay we can call somebody by typing in their phone number. Now you have smartphones. This gap is just huge in a short time and it's getting faster. We are technology is evolving quicker and quicker and quicker and quicker. So how can we adapt to its quickness? And especially I was thinking how will I adapt with my business, my life to the AI age?

I mean, right now I'm basically helping brands improve their email retention, but I mean in like half a year or a year, there will be an AI agent that will do this, right? And how how will I adapt to this, right? I mean, maybe I can help brands um write the right skills or build the right skills so they can implement it into their business. Regarding email retention, however, the only only thing that matters is if you know how to build skills, you know how to build any skill, right, for an AI agent like here for clothes skills. So this will fall away instantly. The whole business I've been working on for months disappears basically because if the people have the right tools and know how to use them, my tool is useless. Right?

So what's something that will survive this phase and the upcoming phases is something I truly question. Uh and I don't have an answer for it. I mean we we are at this point where we can say AI has already taken over. I mean most most platforms rely nowadays on AI but I mean they rely on data and AI is is basically uh connected to this data. So yeah, I don't know.

What I do know is that we will always crave and need human interaction. Uh because we always seek emotional connection to each other. That's the reason why we we get along with our close friends. We like spending time with them or family. uh love it's something AI cannot I think personally maybe I'm wrong cannot take over yet or the next couple of years. Uh I mean why are running clubs so su successful or like gym clubs or hierox classes or like general if you go and play for a club any kind of sports it's because people come together to do something together right and if I cannot imagine myself running with 10 AI human robots and like having fun because I connect I mean of course if they have enough data about me they know exactly which what triggers me and how to achieve what they want to achieve basically manipul manipulate right but um why should they I don't know maybe I mean we are getting more lonely over the time I mean the last time I have really seen friends friends it's been a while I mean I they live all spread out Europe or the world so I I don't get to see them quite often and uh yeah, it's of course I I have my my family here, right? I'm I live with my girlfriend here and my my parents aren't so far away, but still I feel lonely. And when I talk to friends, I also tell them like, "I miss you. I miss you a lot." And maybe they think it's like a little super superficial like, "Ah, yeah, yeah, we're going to see each other." But I truly miss them. I feel I feel lonely. sometimes um because yeah, they're friends. They mean a lot to me. I have a special bond to them and I don't know. I don't even really know how they're doing sometimes. I'm like wondering, but we in today's day and age, we're so busy, right? I mean, if I try to get in touch with them, not all of them, but a couple of them, I don't hear back for a couple of days. And I I'm the same. Like, don't get me wrong, right? I mean, I'm I also struggle from day to day. Get have to get my things done. Uh I come back as soon as possible to to answer them. And like I get it. I don't even take it personal or anything. It's like wow why why has work or tasks or all these kind of things taken over our life and for what? Yeah.

So yeah but back to the main question how will I adapt to the AI evolution? I mean, one thing that I can do is like just stay stay in touch with AI on a daily basis, right? I mean, listen to a podcast or watch some videos or try things out. I mean, Anthropic just dropped an amazing course about how to use Claude and I'm going to do it for sure. Um, I just paid a pro plan. I mean, you just saw the video, I guess, or you didn't. Uh, it's worth it. Just try out and try not to get left behind but don't don't put too much pressure on yourself like as I think I recorded before I always feel left behind because it's moving on so fast um however like if you are already considering yourself oh I'm left behind then you are on not left behind yeah I mean you you're conscious about how it's evolving and you want to stay on uh updated it up to date to in this topic.

So yeah, I have to really really really think about how can I adapt my business to this evolution. I mean, I can still offer my service, right? But I need some kind of digital product or I need some digital community space which I can translate into in real life events. Something I've been looking into is like masterminds, how [ __ ] successful they have been in the last couple of uh years, right? And for a good reason. Um, it's an experience and people Yeah. I mean, let at the end it's about the experience. What really p makes people perceive your product, uh, your service or your brand, dude. There's such a cute German Shepherd. Oh, I love them. He's like around five months old. I wish I would have a dog, man. I wish I had a dog soon. Don't worry, I will someday knocking wood inshallah get the dog.

But yeah, I think that's it for the moment. Just a little brain dump for you getting out my thoughts. Um maybe how a question for you. How will you adapt to the AI revolution to the constant updates in the AI world? Um, do you even know what you want to offer, what you want to sell? Because that's sometime I always like, is that really truly what I want to sell? I mean, for the moment, yes. But just keep on adapting, right? Always keep on adapting, adapting, adapting. uh to to learn more about email marketing in the e-commerce space. I just set up an Shopify store where I sell art pieces in other worlds in other words, not worlds, sorry. I frame the pictures I've taken on my trips and you can buy them and you will create like a small safe space on your wall. basically bringing nature's peach peace into your house so you can feel connected to to nature once in a while even if it's just a small moment but yeah but at the same time it's like ah I have to adapt it ah this is not a good market a lot of competition uh this is not really something customers come back and buy buy consistently right because at some point you you you have no walls space left for art, right? So, as well, I have to think, is that even worth it? I want to do it because it's like things I've created, right? So, there's more personal and passion behind it, but it's not the right product market fits. Yeah. So, let me see what I do. I got to get back to
