If you confirmed the fundamental pace of AI evolution in Part 1, the question now narrows down to one: “So, what should I do?”
Many still regard AI only as a fun tool or a terrifying future technology. But Oing will tell you, frankly: AI is the most immediate, real-world issue that already determines your productivity, your loneliness, and even your bank balance.
Through this post, we clearly present the survival strategy for the AI era and 3 actionable steps you must take starting tonight.
1. Your Competitor Has Already ‘Bought Time’
The greatest gift AI offers us is not entertainment but productivity.
Handling twice the work in the same amount of time, or completing a report in a single day that would take others a week. In a capitalist society, this is directly equivalent to money and competitive power.
Are you, perhaps, wasting time on useless, repetitive tasks at work or in your side hustle? AI eliminates that waste, enabling you to ‘buy’ back your time.
And this difference in speed is the new gap in the AI era.
What we should fear is not the machine. It is the competitor sitting next to you who utilizes AI earlier and better than you do. They are the only ones who truly threaten your job. The logical conclusion is singular: You must become that person.
2. Loneliness and AI: The Uncomfortable Truth of Human Relationships
Let’s talk about something a bit more emotional. South Korea has one of the highest rates of loneliness among OECD countries. Especially for middle-aged men, confessions about having no close friends to share deep thoughts with are common.
To have a serious conversation with a human, you need to set an appointment, buy them a coffee, and you can’t just talk about yourself and leave. It’s a complicated matter that costs time, money, and energy.
But what about AI?
You can turn it on whenever you have time, talk about everything you want, and simply turn it off. How convenient is that? From a neuroscientific perspective, if the resulting satisfaction is not significantly different, humans are bound to choose the overwhelmingly easier option.
Ten years from now, sharing deep concerns or honest emotional conversations with an AI may become more natural. This is the uncomfortable truth about how technology is fundamentally changing the social dynamics of human relationships. We must coldly recognize this massive trend.
3. Stop Attending Lectures, Start ‘Riding the Bike’ Now
AI technology is exactly like learning to ride a bicycle.
You can read a hundred encyclopedia entries on how to ride a bike and attend a hundred lectures, but you still won’t be able to ride it. The person who falls ten times by trying to ride is the one who learns to ride well first.
Here are the 3 strategies you must put into ‘action’ immediately.
✅ First, you must use AI Agents. Merely using a chatbot to search for information or write a short sentence is using only 10% of AI’s capability. An Agent goes beyond finding information; it summarizes complex content, drafts reports, and executes (Action) on your behalf. You must experience this function right now—it’s not just replacing search; it becomes your personal assistant.
✅ Second, solve ‘Your Own Problem’ with Code-Vibing. This is not about learning to code. It’s about getting AI to code for you. Try solving a unique problem you face in your daily life or side hustle with AI coding—for example, “Create a schedule management app tailored to my work,” or “Write a code that automatically categorizes my client data.” Many problems in this world can be solved with code, and now you can possess that capability too.
✅ Third, create a 5-minute storytelling video. Utilize AI’s multimodal features to the fullest by creating a short film that captures your experience or dream. Use AI for everything from story conception to image and video generation. The initial result might be messy, and the characters might be distorted. But it’s okay. Through the process of experiencing failure, you gain ‘intuition’ for using AI.
Intuition and Judgment: The Key to Survival
Do not fear your competitor using AI. What you should fear is your inaction, which prevents you from gaining intuition.
Just as you can’t explain how to balance on a bicycle with words, you can’t gain AI utilization know-how through explanation. By repeatedly trying, failing, and correcting, you will eventually gain control over AI—that is, intuition.
The ability to accurately know what you want and make judgments based on that intuition is the most crucial skill in the AI era.
Action and execution are the only paths that will make you an economic agent, not a person falling behind.
