Midjourney to prompt “ mirror with Open AI, Grok, Gemini and Claude logos”
A three step exercise that may be eye opening.
Repeat with all four engines (ideally with the paid versions to understand potential.)
Step One: Select your AI engine or engines.
Enter your name and ask it to write your obituary.
Upload as many appraisals or evaluations you have received. Ask for an analysis.
Ask why you are worth hiring or not worth hiring.
Interrogate each of these answers by asking for supporting evidence or question the analysis. Change tone of voice from appreciative to shocked. If it is a multi-modal engine ask for a visual to depict the answer. Ask it to write a slogan or a song.
These steps will make us realize how much the Alien Intelligence (my term for AI) already knows about everyone. This versus Search or LinkedIn is how people will begin analyzing others and companies evaluating talent.

Step Two: Ask other humans these questions. Then ask yourself. Then AI.
Three people outside of their immediate family that have been most impactful in their life positively? And negatively?
Three most transformational experiences (good or bad) that have shaped them?
If they had 10 years to live what would they change moving forward and why?
These really get true conversations going with others and oneself. These are conversations with intense meaning, deep feeling, and human emotion. Now check how these answers compare with that of the different AI engines.
Also note how you might keep asking more questions and follow ups with different tones of voice to the AI versus real humans or yourself. What do these longer and deeper conversations reveal about other people, the machine and ourselves.

Step Three : Ask your manager these questions. Then ask yourself. Then ask AI.
How much of my job will be done by an Agent 2 years from now and what will happen to me?
Do they worry if they themselves will become irrelevant soon?
How would they attack their own company to defeat it?
These remind us that every company, every job and every career will be dramatically changed in less then 500 days and we all need to reinvent fast.
It also reveals how much company data has already been uploaded by employees or others into the public domain. Very little is secret.
For these answers pretend the AI is BCG, or Mckinsey or Bain and ask it to provide recommendations, analysis and action steps. This is why Mckinsey already has 12,000 agents to its 40,000 humans and is expects the ratio to be 1 to 1…
Try these exercises as a way to embrace AI, adapt your career/life and identify where one can complement the machine.

Wow.
Rishad, I love this. Great suggestions. I have chosen Claude for deep discussions. I have chosen Gemini for all things related to how the Internet works. I use Replit for my agentic code development for my app. After roughly 1000 hours of app development for a calendar based app, I turned to Claude for a very long conversation about "time" where Claude helped me to understand how an AI agent "thinks" about time. It has been my observation that one of the biggest differences between human intelligence and artificial intelligence is in the way we process the concept of time. For example, "tomorrow" is a dumb simple concept to the human mind but because this term is fungible, it can be confusing for AI. I have been very careful not to use the term "next year" when asking the agent to write code for the app. An AI agent is not going to "understand" that on January 1st, all of my references to next year now refer to this year. I hope your readers find this interesting.
