On the military side of things, there are really two types of jobs: jobs that answer questions and those that ask them. Getting good at being an officer is understanding both and knowing how to thrive in each.

Being an XO is a bit of a "daywalker" situation in this paradigm...

But being a good intelligence professional is all about asking questions - as is being a good historian or reporter.

Mark's examples for AI use really would leverage that sort of education and experience -- but even then, I don't think that's the best way to leverage AI.

You want to see LLMs do things? Try using them to gist information in a workflow or using them to convert structured to unstructured data.

Try sentiment tagging (with target language knowledge of course).

Again - you won't lose your job to AI or even a dumb person with AI. You have to watch out for smart people with AI and perhaps become one.
