— The future of those who do not explain and those who know how to explain
In the near future,
we will say as if it were obvious.
"AI, make me a car."
"AI, build me a house."
"AI, create my own web service."
And AI will actually make it. However, there is a huge difference here.
Some people achieve dream results, while others achieve monstrous results.
Why is that?
When you say, "a cool, fast, and convenient car," AI actually creates a 'cool, fast, and convenient car.' The problem is that... it's not what you had in mind.
Let's take an example.
You:
"AI, make me a cool, fast, and convenient car that I would like."
AI:
"Understood."
And AI comes up with a car that goes 500km per hour,
has no steering wheel,
the seats automatically massage when you sit,
and the doors open upwards 180 degrees...
creating such a hyper-realistic 'theoretical prototype.'
But that car:
- violates traffic laws,
- is not insured,
- cannot enter a parking lot,
- driving at 500km per hour will make people faint at 4-6G,
- cannot be released due to regulations,
- cannot operate on actual roads for even a minute.
In other words,
AI perfectly executed the command but failed to understand your 'realistic intention' even by 1%.
This is because you did not explain:
"conditions of reality,"
"conditions of humans,"
"rules,"
"premise of preferences,"
"the context of use I desire."
On the other hand, those who speak like this live in a completely different era
"AI, this is the car I want. I prefer an electric car over an internal combustion engine. But since electric cars are boring, it would be nice if it sounded like a 12-cylinder Lamborghini. However, I want to be able to turn off the sound because I want to ride quietly at night. Speeds of around 180km per hour are sufficient, with FSD, but I also want to drive manually occasionally. Design it with a mix of Lamborghini and Tesla vibes."
To this person, AI creates
'precisely the car that person wants.'
Because
they know how to structure their desires and explain them.
This is what AI Native thinking is all about.
The real ability of AI in the AI era is not the 'ability to create' but the 'ability to explain what is wanted.'
When the era comes where AI writes code for you,
not everyone becomes a developer.
Only those who can accurately describe the functions they want become developers.
Even if AI creates songs instead of singers,
singers do not disappear because,
- they know what kind of atmosphere they want,
- they want to convey certain emotions,
- they like certain arrangements.
Only those who can explain these things can request AI to create "accurate songs."
Whether it's cars, houses, code, music, services,
it's all the same.
If you can't explain it, you won't get what you want. If you explain, the world is in your hands.
AI becomes as smart as your 'level of thinking' and 'ability to explain.'
In other words:
AI never surpasses humans. It only moves as much as the purpose defined by humans.
Therefore, no matter how advanced AI becomes,
people with the following two abilities
will never be replaced.
- People who can clearly define what they want
- People who can explain that purpose to AI logically
These two abilities
are essential skills that never disappear in any era.
And programming is
the best tool to cultivate these two abilities.
- Defining problems,
- breaking them down,
- structuring them,
- expressing intentions clearly,
this is design thinking
and the killer skill of the AI Native era.
Conclusion: The era where AI does everything is not 'an era where anyone gets what they want' but 'an era where those who can explain get what they want.'
AI is an amplifier that amplifies your thoughts.
But if there is no input to the amplifier, there is no sound.
AI will never know:
What you like
What you want to create
What standards you have
Why you want that
It will never know.
The person who explains that
becomes the creator of the AI era.
And that explanation
is not technology
but thinking ability,
structural expressive power,
and self-awareness.
Even in the era when AI completes the code,
this ability never disappears.
Instead, it shines brighter.
We call those who possess this ability like this.
