The article discusses the profound anxiety surrounding AI's impact on employment and personal identity. While many initially feared job loss, a deeper concern has emerged regarding the erasure of personal significance and self-worth.

The piece emphasizes the importance of these uniquely human qualities, which remain crucial for well-being and fulfillment in an evolving technological landscape.
