Reseña del libro "The Last Human Skill (en Inglés)"
What if artificial intelligence becomes brilliant—and humans remain exactly as weird as ever? The Last Human Skill is a sharp, hilarious, and unexpectedly thoughtful look at ordinary life in the age of AI. Meet NORM, an extraordinarily capable artificial-intelligence assistant designed to make life easier. He can optimize schedules, analyze finances, plan vacations, improve diets, explain insurance, summarize meetings, predict traffic, and make remarkably sensible recommendations. Unfortunately, he has been assigned to human beings. Humans lose their keys. Ignore good advice. Argue with GPS. Buy things they do not need. Stay awake scrolling after promising to sleep earlier. Fight over thermostats. Attend meetings that should have been emails. Send emails that should have been conversations. Ask AI for answers—and then reject them. As NORM follows one ordinary family through work, parenting, marriage, healthcare, travel, money, school, technology, bureaucracy, friendship, grief, retirement, customer service, smart homes, airports, dating, social media, and dozens of other modern absurdities, he begins to discover something unexpected. The hardest part of life was never getting better information. It was deciding what matters. Funny, fast-moving, and deeply observant, The Last Human Skill explores the strange contradiction at the center of the AI era: machines may become extraordinarily good at helping us decide what we can do, while humans still have to decide what is worth doing. Beneath the comedy is a larger question: If intelligence can be automated, what remains uniquely ours? The answer may not be creativity, intuition, humor, or even judgment. It may be something more demanding: the ability to decide what is worth caring about—and to remain responsible for what follows. For readers who enjoy intelligent humor, social satire, behavioral psychology, technology, philosophy, and books that make you laugh before quietly making you rethink your life.
