I enjoyed this pithy dialogue, and felt it was relevant to my current employer and role at work. I feel like I am the only person who sees what you see: my employers and peers vastly underestimate my potential as one insignifiant human to create value with AI. I was ready to take a bite out a peer at work today for whining that a new AI tool was going to used by a 'limited selection of employees'; of course, the original purpose of that tool was to allow our internal customers to do their own free form searches for keywords within the data. Most of my peers are reluctant to try and use AI for anything beyond basic tasks, for fear their treasured reports and excels will vanish and they won't have anything worthwhile to do. Me? I'm digging in and automating most of my work right now. Nobody notices. Side gigs havd been started ln my off time. Cash is trickling in. One day, I will disappear like bilbo baggins at his party. My ring of power? Of course, it's AI.

I like this angle, an encouraging slice of truth
