Author: Keep Evolving on Top of AI Models
teropa · x · 2026-07-15
The core message of this repost is that to avoid being replaced by AI, the key isn't to compete directly with models, but to build scenario-based experience around frontier models.
The author argues:
- Frontier models already outperform humans on codifiable knowledge tasks;
- However, true advantage comes from domain experts applying models to specific scenarios, generating tacit knowledge that models can't yet learn;
- Humans can learn "how to use new models" faster than models themselves, allowing us to continuously stack new capabilities on top of them.
The conclusion: don't just treat models as replacements; instead, "surf the models" and use them as tools to generate new professional capabilities.
