I think curiosity is a very expensive hobby. It usually starts innocently. You read one article. Then one paper. Then another paper because the first paper referenced it. Before you know it, it’s midnight and you’re somehow reading about consumer psychology, AI adoption, and a topic you didn’t even know existed three hours ago. This is how most of my evenings look these days 😭 The funny thing is that the more I learn, the less certain I become. When I first started working in AI, everything felt straightforward. Build better models, deploy them, create impact. Simple. Now, every answer seems to come with three more questions. How much should we trust AI? What skills become more valuable when everyone has access to AI? Will AI make us more creative, or simply faster? I used to think expertise meant having answers. These days, I suspect it might mean asking better questions. Maybe that’s one of the reasons I ended up doing a DBA. Not because I wanted another degree, but because I couldn’t stop asking “why?” Unfortunately for my sleep schedule, that hasn’t changed. P.S. If curiosity burns calories, I should be in much better shape than I am.
