I agree with the author and I think this is turning everyone into an investor. How I view (financial) investing as a career is that it is less manual and more taste oriented. You put your stake in the things you feel will work out and taste here just means the judgement required to make good calls. A person with good taste would have a better idea of capital allocation.

What AI is doing is making all of us investors instead of doers. "Doing" is no longer something praiseworthy - what will become praiseworthy is how your taste has turned out in hindsight.

I'm seeing this at work. More or less everyone can do tasks well. But what's harder now is the more subtle task of taking bets and seeing it work over a few months or years.
