One of the big misconceptions about social media is that you are participating or engaging in anything other than confirming your social credit status in relation to other people. You are part of an advertising channel that is sold to the highest bidder and just as you are ‘nudged’ into behaving and thinking a certain way which is confirmed by your participation, you can also be ‘nudged’ into clicking or purchasing things when the platform directs you to do so.

AI could replace 80% of jobs 'in next few years': expert_YAHOONEWS

As a human you need to reflect on what it is that you actually do in the workspace to earn a paycheck. Is the process that you are following as per your employer benefitting someone? The customer? Or are you simply following instructions and doing whatever you are told while disregarding how your role within the organization contributes to the company’s goals?

Machines are programmed to follow a programmed series of instructions presumably to complete a desired task. Are the set of instructions that you are following in the workspace contributing to a positive customer experience or an in house function that cold not be replicated by a piece of code or a software program? What is your added value or value added? Are you worth more as an asset on which AI can train or do you provide some useful function that a machine cannot?
