The current tech revolution, driven by AI, has led to significant industry changes, hype, and uncertainty. This revolution has profoundly impacted businesses, altering transactional dynamics and corporate strategies. A concerning trend is companies regretting immediate layoffs for AI, now facing high token costs and the value of human employees. The author suggests an inverse relationship between technology and human skills impacting industries. The Thermomix metaphor illustrates the choice between an all-machine business, an all-human business, and the ideal new connection value business. An all-machine approach, like relying solely on AI or the Thermomix, risks generic outcomes and lacks a unique purpose. An all-human approach, while fostering originality, can be slow and expensive without scaling or technological aid. The most robust approach combines technology, like the Thermomix or AI, with human strategy, expertise, and creativity. This blended model allows for efficiency, scalability, and genuine innovation. Ultimately, human criteria, expertise, and vision are more valuable than tools alone in navigating technological advancements.
