Six underrated AI skills: copywriting, planning, and domain expertise

There are six underrated things in AI:
- Copywriting — average copy is cheap, but good copy still takes taste and skill.
- Deleting automations — 80% of what gets built is never used or does not work, so knowing what not to build matters.
- Being offline — time in the real world and nature can improve productivity.
- Your file structure — everyone talks about agents, but the files they rely on matter too.
- Planning before you build — spend more time on the plan instead of one-shotting a broken app or workflow.
- Decades of experience — domain knowledge is the moat that nobody else can copy.
