> 3. What kind of work should we focus on that AI won't easily replace?
I have enough confidence to answer just this question. You should definitely leverage AI where it's good at, as a tool for improving the quality of your work. But what I noticed, since the advent of LLMs for coding, is that quality of software hasn't improved, maybe output(? but can't be sure). There's been a lot of talk in the industry about decreasing quality of software in the recent years, way before than LLMs. So my obvious answer to that is to focus on products where a great UX makes the whole difference :) Maybe a bit generic but I believe there's a great value in that. A while ago I heard Casey Muratori(search the name if you don't know who he's) claiming that a product that would focus on performance alone could be a successful product, even without coming up with anything new, just copy something and make it better. I believe that nowadays that's true and there are a lot of opportunities out there given how bad some software is. E.g. Zed editor
