This is an experiment. I used ChatGPT to create advice base on my experience in technology and economic change. One concept came from a Reddit post. I took that post and a chatGTP write a plan based on a set of anxieties about the emergence of AI in the software sector. To make the prompt work instruction is simply as an advisor with psychology background.
This was to enhance the plan with the right level language that could be universal. And continue with the prompts having that set up, I wanted to fold in a kind of story. The situation reminded me of a book I read 20 years ago, called “who moved my cheese.”
I know it to be a universal story so that’s a good kind of construct to work with in generative ai. I used it to create a fable about AI change that’s updated more relatable. It’s a simple experiment in mixing in the character of advisor concerns in the zeitgeist using a highly voted Reddit post, and then finally using a book about change to focussing on current issues humans are dealing with.
In my opinion, the quality of the rating of the fundamental post at the end of this generation is pretty much blog, post standard or something you see in trade media or Psychology Today. This type of synthesis is the work of an expert entrepreneur and someone with experience with writing strategy and someone with experience reading books about strategy and psychology. It would take much longer for an inexperienced person or novice to create such a result.
I predict that some of the work going on now I’m prompt engineering will be undertaken by highly expert people, with depth in multiple sectors. People who can act, and communicate and synthesize, will have it advantage in creating this type of work.
The work took about 20 minutes, here it is…
Psychological Advisor: Advice.
Model: GPT-4

Read this and respond with a plan: AI Anxiety
I’ve talked with a few engineers, and many of them are feeling AI anxiety. Here’s the train of thought:
- At first: Wow, this is really cool
- * Then: Wow, everything’s moving so fast, I want to be involved in this industry but it’s moving too fast
- * Then: F\*\*\*, GPT-4 can already do a lot of my job. What about GPT-5 and GPT-6…
- * Then: If GPT is going to eat my job, I need to work in the AI industry. But where, and how. It’s moving too fast. And I don’t have a background in AI research. If I start working on a project, two weeks later something new has come out that makes it irrelevant, or OpenAI announces something that shows that they’re just going to do it better.
- * Oh, and you can see that your family and friends are oblivious to what’s coming, which is scary too, because you can see how many of their jobs it’ll impact.
You can feel that AI is the future, you want to be involved, but it’s impossible to find a way in. Plus, there’s extra need to find a way in, because if you don’t, it’s going to eat your job anyway. (That’s how it feels, anyway.)
​
**The big uncertainties:**
- What is OpenAI going to release next? Because it’ll probably make hundreds of projects obsolete.
- * What are other companies going to release?
- * Will OpenAI release GPT-5 once it’s trained, or will they keep it internal only?
- * When will OpenAI release image input, GPT-4–32k, broader plugin access for users and for devs?
- * What will people do when AI eats most computer based jobs that currently exist?
- * How to figure out what to work on when every week something groundbreaking and new comes out?
​
**1) For the engineers reading this, is that accurate to how you’re feeling about AI?**
**2) I’ve written my thoughts on what. engineers should do to get into the center of the AI space to avoid missing out, and what engineers should do to avoid the risk to their jobs from AI. My thoughts are incomplete, though. What are your suggestions for people, and what are you doing?**
​
**My best guess for what engineers should do to get into the center and avoid missing out:**
- Some people might say – oh just use these tools so that you can see how they work, knowing how to utilize them will put you ahead. Yeah, not for long. I think more is needed.
- * One valid path is to study hardcore ML research, re-implement cutting edge papers yourself, and then apply to OpenAI.
- * What are other good paths?
​
**My best guess for what to do about risk to your job from AI:**
- For this, I think using AI tools is the right answer. Use Copilot, GPT-4, and other tools as much as possible. Aim to spend as much of your time as possible doing thing things that AI cannot do.
- * What else?
It seems that the AI anxiety you described stems from the rapid advancements in AI technology and the potential disruption it may cause to various job sectors. To address these concerns, I’ve outlined a plan to help engineers adapt and thrive in the evolving AI landscape.
Embrace lifelong learning: Commit to continuous learning and upskilling to stay relevant in the industry. This can include taking online courses, attending workshops, or pursuing advanced degrees in AI and related fields.

Diversify your skill set: Develop skills beyond programming and AI, such as project management, communication, and domain-specific knowledge. A diversified skill set can make you more adaptable and valuable in a changing job market.
Focus on human-centric skills: Cultivate skills that are inherently human, such as creativity, critical thinking, empathy, and problem-solving. These skills can complement AI tools and help you maintain your relevance in the workforce.
Network and collaborate: Engage with the AI community through conferences, meetups, and online forums. Networking can help you stay informed about the latest trends and developments, as well as connect you with potential collaborators and job opportunities.
Build a portfolio: Showcase your AI-related projects and research to demonstrate your expertise and experience. A strong portfolio can make you more attractive to employers in the AI field.
Consider entrepreneurship: If you have a unique AI-related idea or product, consider starting your own business. Entrepreneurship can provide an opportunity to innovate and create value in the AI space.
Stay informed about policy and regulation: As AI continues to evolve, it’s crucial to stay updated on relevant policies and regulations that may impact the industry. Understanding the legal and ethical implications of AI can help you make informed decisions about your career and projects.
Advocate for responsible AI development: Promote ethical AI practices and responsible development within your network and organization. Encouraging transparency and fairness in AI can help mitigate potential risks and improve public trust.
Maintain a long-term perspective: AI is still a rapidly evolving field, and its full impact on the job market may not be immediate. Stay focused on your career goals, be adaptable, and embrace change as it comes.
By following this plan, engineers can better position themselves to thrive in the AI industry and mitigate the risks associated with job displacement.

Do you know the book who moved my cheese?
Yes, I’m familiar with the book “Who Moved My Cheese?” Written by Dr. Spencer Johnson and published in 1998, it’s a motivational business fable that explores the theme of change and how to adapt to it. The book has been widely recognized for its valuable lessons on dealing with change in both personal and professional contexts.
The story features four characters – two mice named Sniff and Scurry, and two little humans called Hem and Haw – who live in a maze and search for cheese, which represents their goals and desires. One day, the cheese they’ve been enjoying at a specific location in the maze disappears. The four characters react differently to this change, with Sniff and Scurry quickly adapting and searching for new cheese, while Hem and Haw initially resist the change, leading to various outcomes for each character.
The book highlights the importance of being open to change, taking action, and embracing new opportunities. Some key takeaways from the story include:
Anticipate change: Be aware that change is inevitable and prepare for it.
Adapt to change quickly: Embrace change and adjust your course of action as needed.
Enjoy change: See change as an opportunity for growth and development.
Be ready to change again: Stay flexible and prepared for new changes that may arise.
“Who Moved My Cheese?” has been praised for its simple yet powerful message about adapting to change, making it a popular resource for individuals and organizations alike.
