Bluesky's CEO warns you shouldn't 'fully outsource your thinking' to AI

Bluesky CEO Jay Graber said critical thinking is "very necessary" in the age of AI.Eugene Gologursky/Getty Images for Fast CompanyBluesky CEO Jay Graber said developing critical-thinking skills is "very necessary" in today's job market.She said human oversight is needed and that you shouldn't "fully outsource your thinking" to AI.Graber also believes that developing a generalist skillset is key to thriving in the AI era.AI is may be transforming your job, but critical thinking is still key.That's according to Bluesky CEO Jay Graber. She told Business Insider that developing critical-thinking skills is "very necessary" in this day and age."AI is able to automate a lot of critical-reasoning tasks, and if we fully outsource our own reasoning, it's actually not good enough to run in an automated fashion," said Graber, who previously founded a social network focused on events called Happening Inc.If you're a student, maybe that means writing your essays by hand, Graber said. The idea is to build "the muscle for critical thinking," and keep it growing, the CEO said."You can't just fully outsource your thinking, or an essay, to AI," she said.Graber said that Bluesky uses AI in areas like moderation and curation but never lets it operate autonomously. She said employees check and revise the output and use critical thinking to decide what actually gets implemented."When you let it run autonomously, it doesn't have actual context or intelligence, or the many things that we need as humans to make good decisions," Graber said. "And so it's producing stuff that sounds or looks right without actually being right."Cultivating a range of skillsGraber advises embracing a generalist mindset. With AI providing "specialist expertise packaged up," the real value lies in discerning what's important."You need to have the good judgment of how you're going to use it, and then you have to have the flexibility to take that knowledge and do something useful with it," Graber said.While these new skills are important to learn, Graber still believes job seekers should have a firm understanding of the basics of their industry."I think it's still very necessary to learn all these skills, whether it's writing or coding or anything else that you're going to use AI assistance for," Graber said.Just because AI can write essays doesn't mean people shouldn't learn to write anymore, she said. The same applies to skills like coding, Graber said. While AI can help insert structure, figure out bugs, and generate code, Graber said you still need to have a solid foundation."If you don't know what good code looks like, if you don't know how to actually build a system, you're not going to be able to evaluate its output," Graber said.Read the original article on Business Insider
