The Role of Humans with GenAI


✨ Humans are the magic in the last 5%.

Hello Reader,

AI can handle 95% of the grind work - even for an S-1 IPO Prospectus.

According to Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon, this massive document used to take a six-person team multiple weeks to produce. Now, Generative AI can draft 95% of an S-1 IPO prospectus in minutes.

But here’s the kicker. Solomon told the Financial Times, “The last 5% now matters, because the rest is now a commodity.”

So, how can you be that last 5%?

If GenAI is handling 95% of the work you used to do, what is the 5% that only a human like you can do?

The human touch is the difference between good and great, between functional and extraordinary.

Find that last 5%, and make that your focus. Use AI to handle the other 95%, and you will be prepared for the future of work.

Being better at being human is how you will get ahead, in an AI-powered world. Helping people find the unique work that only humans can do - that's the topic of my next webinar.

🤖 "If you don't learn to how to orchestrate agents now, you'll spend 2027 catching up to people who started today.” - Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google Hello Reader, Xero recently published a report comparing how New Zealanders are using AI. They surveyed more than 1000 professionals, and they found that most people are still using AI like a random toolbox. They open ChatGPT, or Copilot, or Claude, or Gemini. They ask a question, get an answer, copy the useful bits, and move on. That’s fine. A...
