I keep seeing posts about AI replacing jobs, and most of them are doom and gloom. But this one stopped me cold. The author shared a framework that flips the whole conversation, and I think it’s one of the smartest takes I’ve read on staying valuable while AI gets cheaper by the week.
The original poster opens with a stat that hits hard: AI is getting 7,143 times cheaper. Then this LinkedIn creator drops the real question. What are you still selling that AI now sells for $0.0028? That’s not fearmongering. That’s math.
The expert’s answer comes down to three things AI can’t copy from you: your taste, your judgment, and your repeatable systems. Here’s the breakdown of how the author says to lock all three down.
Build Your About-Me Folder
This is where most people skip and lose. The creator’s pitch is simple. Don’t make AI guess what good looks like to you. Hand it the answer in writing.
The original poster recommends creating five markdown files in any cloud drive:
- about-me.md – who you are, what you do
- examples-i-love.md – work you’d happily ship with your name on it
- examples-i-hate.md – work you’d reject on sight
- mistakes-i-wont-repeat.md – your scars, written down
- audience.md – who you actually serve
The rationale: Taste is the thing AI can’t reverse-engineer from a single prompt. But it CAN learn it if you feed it your reference material. This folder becomes your portable brain. Drop it into any AI conversation and you’ve instantly transferred years of judgment.
Run a Prompt That Transfers Your Judgment
Once the folder exists, the author shares a prompt to make AI actually use it. Copy this exactly:
“I want to [task] for [success criteria]. Start by reading my about-me folder and its files. Then, ask me questions to complete your task with my answers.”
Why this works: The expert points out it feels slow. That’s the point. The back and forth is how taste transfers from your head into the output. Skip the questions and you get generic slop. Sit through them and you get work that actually sounds like you.
I was blown away by how counterintuitive this is. Most people want AI to be faster. The creator is saying the opposite. Make it slower at the start, so it gets sharper every time you use it.
Build Systems, Not Answers
This is the move that compounds. The post’s author warns that the answer person gets replaced first. The system person becomes more valuable over time. Here’s the prompt this innovator shared for turning your repeated tasks into reusable workflows:
“Here are 5 tasks people keep asking me to do: [PASTE TASKS]
That’s how I do it, step by step: [PASTE YOUR EXACT STEPS]:
For each task:
Identify the repeated pattern
Tell me what context files are needed
Turn it into a reusable checklist
Draft the first version of the workflow
Tell me what should stay human”
The rationale: Every time someone asks you to do something twice, you have a system waiting to be built. The creator’s prompt forces AI to extract the pattern, name the context, and flag the parts only a human should handle. That last piece is gold. It tells you exactly where your value sits.
Why This Whole Framework Matters
The author lays out the cost: $20 a month for Claude. That’s it. No fancy stack. No agency. Just a clear-headed system that any professional can set up in an afternoon.
The answer person gets replaced first. The system person compounds.
I think that line is the takeaway of the whole post. If your work is “give me an answer,” AI is already chewing on your lunch. If your work is “design the system that produces consistent answers in my voice, with my taste, for my audience,” you just got a leverage multiplier.
How to Apply This Today
- Spend 30 minutes drafting your five markdown files. Don’t aim for perfect. Aim for written down.
- Drop the folder into your next AI conversation and use the judgment prompt. Pay attention to the questions it asks back, those reveal the gaps in your context.
- List the five tasks people ask you to do most often. Run the systems prompt against them. Save the workflows. Reuse them every week.
- Update your files as you learn. The expert’s framework is a living system, not a one-time setup.
