The A.I. business coach

My first conversation yesterday with a prototype A.I. coach, actually developed to assist with mental health and wellbeing - but adaptable to any question.
I asked two questions:
I am taking some time out tomorrow to develop my 2025 Business Plan - what top tips would you give me to make the session most useful?
Some of my clients are anxious because their dental associates, therapists and hygienists have white space in their diaries - what advice would you give to fill those gaps?
Both answers were articulate, accurate and useful - and this after the A.I. coach had been given no warning as to who I was or what I would ask. In fact, nothing previously to do with business coaching or dentistry.
The cliche is to say "that was scary" - it was.
Machine learning is here.
The question that interests me the most?
If A.I. replaces thought and robotics replaces labour - what will there be left for us to do?
I have been deep diving into AI over the last year and I cannot believe how much of the grunt work it's doing for me leaving me free to be much more productive but, more to the point, much MORE CREATIVE. I firmly believe that this is where humans will still excell, at being creative and building relationships. And would I trust a robot to drill my teeth? No way.
Your blog today took me back to me around 8 -10 years old.(40 yrs ago) My late father came home from work and I could see something was bothering him. I listened to him chatting to my mother about his concern that no one would have an office job soon “these computers will take our jobs”. We will watch this space with AI loving what it brings and hating what it brings. I wish my late father could have seen the benefits of “the computer”. He would have embraced all the benefits. Also on a separate note he missed seeing the film Gladiator (May 2000) which would have been a real hit for him. :)
