Looks like AI learnt almost everything there is in the internet and textbooks today. I lost hope of learning anything new out there to make a reasonable difference and impact. Choose any topic AI knows. Its interpretation is far better than what I can come up with by myself. I feel robbed of my intellectual freedom to express and be accepted by others as others depend on AI for everything.

I recently started studying physics fundamentals to find solace. These fundamentals cannot be found through AI. No LLM can precisely measure and compare, but instead only predict. But this is mostly an intellectual exercise. I can't do a living from it.

I am a software engineer with average skills. I get paid reasonably okay as it helps me survive. Nothing more than that. But AI can make my world topple any time soon.

What should I look into as alternatives , even if it's less lucrative software compensation, so that I find AI can't over power me?
