Introverts are cooked with AI

AI and Introversion

If you are an introvert, you might feel threatened as AI evolves. That’s the hypothesis I have, and I say it as an introvert myself. I think that as better AI solutions become part of our daily routines, human contact will become more valuable. Face‑to‑face interaction will matter more. For example, when you sell a product, talking to a client in person builds more trust than a call or a message, especially if those communications are handled by AI. We may stop trusting interactions that aren’t in front of us.

Pushing My Limits

I’m an introvert who doesn’t like being around a lot of people because it tires me. I chose to work remotely from a home office for that reason. But I realize I need to overcome this reluctance. The more valuable human contact becomes, the fewer opportunities I’ll have if I avoid it. That’s why I started recording videos in a language that isn’t my native one, and why I began attending in‑person events.

Morning in Curitiba

This morning I woke up at 6 a.m. It was unusually cold, one degree Celsius, even though it isn’t winter. I traveled to another city, Curitiba, to hear a talk about AI agents and observability with LangChain. The speaker, Rafael, is a principal engineer at Oracle and he really knows his stuff. I liked his explanation of LangChain not only because it seems like a useful tool I want to try in my work, but also because I was familiar with everything he covered, so I never felt lost. He talked about OpenAI, about agents, and about the parameters we work with daily.

Connecting with Peers

Getting out of my house, going to another city, and hearing someone I don’t know talk about a topic I’m interested in was energizing. After the talk I chatted with other attendees, including a guy who also works with AI agents but leans more toward sales. That conversation was great and reminded me that I need to look for more opportunities like this.

That’s what I wanted to share in today’s video.
