Maybe, rather than valuing 'experts', we're going to have to value the concrete results that people or teams are actually producing.

Or what would being an AI 'expert' actually mean?

[Víctor Rufino Cabrera @rufinocabrera]

Is someone an AI expert if they've been working with generative AI for several years without producing any real, measurable impact?

[Víctor Rufino Cabrera @rufinocabrera]

So what is the definition of an AI expert today?

Anyone with just a couple of years working with AI, using chatbots? Or a year using desktop agents?

[Víctor Rufino Cabrera @rufinocabrera]

A Machine Learning expert is an AI expert, but may not have the kind of skills that are needed right now. And when most people talk about AI experience, they're 'assuming' it means generative AI, right?

[Víctor Rufino Cabrera @rufinocabrera]

How have so many AI experts appeared in such a short time?

Well, it depends on how we define an expert. If we're talking about people with 'decades' of experience working with AI, there would be very few.

[Víctor Rufino Cabrera @rufinocabrera]

So how do you stand out? Go looking for the odd, the strange, the improbable. Take more risks. Use AI to break the mold, not to fit it better. Long live the difference!

[Víctor Rufino Cabrera @rufinocabrera]

To be fair, the average went way up. But that's what it is, an average. And when everyone sits at the average, no one stands out.

[Víctor Rufino Cabrera @rufinocabrera]

Same with presentations and reports. Everyone using AI, everyone converging on the same aesthetic, the same form and, sooner or later, the same content.

Have you noticed that every website is starting to look the same? Mine included.

La diferencia es que esta vez nadie tiene décadas para rediseñar. Y no hablamos de la carrocería: hablamos del motor de la empresa.

La ventana está abierta. En pocos años la brecha de eficiencia será imposible de cerrar.

[Víctor Rufino Cabrera @rufinocabrera]

Las empresas pre-IA agéntica, en el mejor de los casos, usan IA para agilizar los procesos que ya tenían. Las más innovadoras redefinen alguno.

Es el error de los primeros automóviles: carruajes con motor.

[Víctor Rufino Cabrera @rufinocabrera]

Las empresas nativas en IA no van a competir con las industrias establecidas. Las van a barrer.

Hoy los procesos no se heredan: se reinventan. Con eficiencias que a una empresa madura le tomará años adoptar —y con mucha menos gente.

[Víctor Rufino Cabrera @rufinocabrera]

AI is unlikely to make these connections on its own, without someone leading it there. It's our anomalous, imperfect, casual, curious nature that makes the difference.

Have you ever drawn inspiration from an unrelated field to improve your work

[Víctor Rufino Cabrera @rufinocabrera]

This wasn't an idle mental exercise. Something concrete came out of it: define the structure first, then the flows.

[Víctor Rufino Cabrera @rufinocabrera]

The similarities are striking: form follows function. Craft and art at scale — custom development and packaged software. The fearless use of new materials. The minimalism we now take for granted in any interface.

[Víctor Rufino Cabrera @rufinocabrera]

Watched a documentary about the Bauhaus, the school that defined modern architecture, and couldn't help drawing a parallel with the software industry.

[Víctor Rufino Cabrera @rufinocabrera]

The difference: nobody gets decades to redesign this time. And we're not talking about the body of the car — we're talking about the engine of the company.

The window is open. In a few years the efficiency gap will be impossible to clo

[Víctor Rufino Cabrera @rufinocabrera]

Pre-agentic-AI companies are, at best, using AI to speed up the processes they already had. The most innovative ones redefine one or two.

It's the same mistake as the first automobiles: carriages with an engine bolted on.
