In this brief monologue, Nicolas Cole argues that the individuals who will profit most from AI are those who have already mastered tasks manually. He emphasizes that deep, hands‑on experience—such as writing thousands of newsletters—provides the necessary domain knowledge and articulation skills to effectively harness AI, even without a technical understanding of the technology itself. The core claim is that building expertise first creates the leverage needed to capitalize on AI opportunities.

The people who are going to get the most opportunity with AI are all the people who did the thing manually. That's why I have the ability to do what I can do with AI. It's not because I understand AI. I don't know anything about AI, but I have written 5,000 newsletters. And so when you do the thing manually, it's that knowledge and that skill that allows you to leverage AI. It's you understanding how to do something. And then once you articulate that, then you get leverage on it. The only reason that you or anyone else will be able to capitalize on these opportunities is because you took the time to build the skill yourself.
