1. Redefining Value
When AI becomes highly efficient at many jobs, it’s no longer possible to measure human worth by money or productivity alone. But humans have strengths that AI cannot replace.
- Empathy and Emotion
Sharing feelings and truly empathizing with others is something AI struggles with. - Creativity and Humor
Genuine originality and reading the atmosphere are uniquely human abilities. - The Value of Existence
Simply being someone who makes others happy just by existing is an irreplaceable value.
2. Accepting Yourself
- Cherish What You Like and What You’re Good At
Find things AI can’t do, or things you can enjoy together with AI. Valuing hobbies, relationships, and small daily joys helps you feel your unique worth. - Don’t Compare Too Much
Comparing yourself to AI or others can easily lead to self-doubt. Try to accept yourself as you are, right now. - Recognize Value Beyond “Being Useful”
Humans don’t live just to be useful. Simply existing is already valuable.
3. What Happiness Means in the Future
As AI advances, human qualities, emotional richness, and genuine connections will become even more important. Happiness in the future won’t just be about efficiency or results, but about sharing, connecting, and being true to yourself.
If you ever feel like you have no special value, remember to cherish yourself as you are, right now. Your existence alone is meaningful. And the very fact that you’re thinking about how to accept yourself in this new era already makes you a wonderful person.
