A Spanish-language repost recommends mathematician Steven Strogatz's appearance on The New York Times' The Daily podcast, where he asks: when a machine does a job better than you, what remains of the craft?
The reposter calls it tear-jerking and tags it #ImperdiblesIA. The post itself does not elaborate the argument, centering on this question about AI and the meaning of work.
