42 Insights on the Workplace Information Gap in AI | Official Summary (Condensed Version) of the Spring Talent Salon

36Kr's "Workplace Bonus" (ID: ZhiChangHongLi)

"How many jobs will AI make disappear?", "Where lies the advantage of humans when AI arrives?", "Where are the new opportunities that AI brings to ordinary workplace people?"

On February 22, 2025, Workplace Bonus jointly organized a closed - door sharing session named "Benefiting Our Careers with AI" with Whale Selection AI. We invited 7 guests with different identities, including members of the creation team of the "DeepSeek from Beginner to Expert.pdf" series, representatives of international "unicorn" enterprises, workplace tool KOLs, and independent developers of "super individuals". They carried out sharing and discussions around the three states in a worker's career: "employed", "job - seeking", and "entrepreneurship".

Besides the on - site case demonstrations, we extracted 42 valuable conclusions from this closed - door talent salon.

You Can Actually Choose "Not to Be Replaced"

1. A powerful enough open - source model can unlock the AI needs of enterprises that are inconvenient to upload data due to data confidentiality issues. This is exactly what DeepSeek is doing: enabling enterprises to locally deploy a powerful enough model, import their own data, and train vertical models suitable for their businesses.

2. This also opens up a market with great potential: the more enterprises or people use DeepSeek, the better its ecosystem will be. In this process, cloud service providers that can be adapted to DeepSeek will earn more money. This also explains why cloud service providers such as Huawei Cloud and Volcengine Cloud announced their access to DeepSeek almost immediately.

3. DeepSeek is also being adapted to domestic GPUs. If DeepSeek can be successfully adapted to domestic GPUs, it will be a milestone event for our country to regain sovereignty in AI.

4. DeepSeek's two models are suitable for different scenarios. In comparison: V3 is like a young person who doesn't think too much but has strong execution ability and is suitable for being taught step - by - step to complete tasks; the R1 model is more like a senior thinker, and letting it solve macroscopic problems will stimulate its creativity.

5. The development of AI exceeds our imagination. Human data is no longer sufficient for AI, and AI is moving towards some "uncharted territories" based on human knowledge.

6. Currently, the way humans interact with APPs is being changed by AI. In the future, jobs related to UI design may disappear.

7. This year, there may be a wave of closures of many majors in China, such as those in content fields like journalism, advertising, and screenwriting.

8. Currently, AI has given rise to these new jobs:

9. When jobs are replaced, we need to think about how to coexist with AI and achieve in - depth human - machine cooperation.

(The following is the estimated replacement rate of jobs by AI by the Li Zuxi team, for reference only):

10. What kind of jobs will be the "iron rice bowls" in the AI era? We summarize them as high - creativity and high - emotional mental labor, and physical labor.

11. In large companies, if you don't want to be pushed around, you have to be a "cancer cell", the one with ideas and the ability to achieve things. Try not to be the one who is treated like a brick and "assimilated", being moved around wherever needed.

12. Although large models are very powerful and can improve efficiency, at present, we still cannot fully trust any large model. Due to problems such as large - model hallucinations, the text output by AI cannot directly meet professional needs and needs to be repeatedly checked and adjusted; the data processed by AI still needs manual review.

13. The path for organizations and enterprises to enter the field of AI should start from finding scenarios where generative AI excels. The key is to find areas where it can be combined with the business. Generative AI is better at refining, transforming, and summarizing information and data that can be presented in text form.

14. Humans are better at jobs with high interactivity, while AI is better at execution. Therefore, in the current "human - machine combination", humans should be good at acting as a "contractor", breaking down tasks and then assigning them to the corresponding AI tools that are good at performing them.

AI Combination Skills Suitable for Different Job Functions

15. Here are 7 small tips for workplace people to use DeepSeek in work and daily life:

• Role - Playing Method: Let AI play the role of an expert to stimulate its knowledge expression in a specific field through identity anchoring. For example, "You are a senior nutritionist. Please compare the advantages and disadvantages of the ketogenic diet and the Mediterranean diet and present the results in a table."

• Knowledge Distillation Method: Make complex and chaotic information simpler and more regular through various methods. For example, transform the periodic table of chemical elements into a story.

• Granularity Regulator: Form a progressive analysis framework when facing complex problems to help understand and quickly build a clear understanding of things. For example, analyze the market prospects of new - energy vehicles from macro, meso, and micro perspectives, with 3 key points in each level.

• Timeline Deduction Method: Help systematically sort out the development context of events from a time dimension and more clearly identify key nodes and potential trends. For example, based on the current situation of the street - vending economy in 2024, predict the potential explosive growth opportunities in 2025.

• Extreme Testing Method: Stimulate AI to provide more stable and safe strategic plans by adding extreme conditions to reduce the risk of the plans. For example, when the number of online viewers in a live - stream exceeds 5 million, formulate an emergency plan for logistics delays in cross - border e - commerce, with detailed response strategies for 48/72/96 hours.

• Reverse Thinking Method: Help clarify the path to achieve the goal before starting a task. For example, "I want to succeed in the postgraduate entrance examination in 2026. Please help me formulate a one - year study plan, including the learning materials needed and the study time arrangement for each subject."

• Scenario Simulation Method: Simulate scenarios through AI to prepare response strategies in advance and enhance the ability to handle emergencies. For example, simulate a new - car launch event and rehearse details such as seat arrangement, on - site interaction, and new - product display.

16. Here is the process of using DeepSeek to write a 10,000 - word project report within an hour:

• Core Strategy: Framework replication + module filling + data grafting.

• Step 1: 5 minutes - Use AI to violently generate a framework (goal: 3000 words) - Prompt: "You are xxx (role). Please use xxx (format) to output a complete table of contents for the 'xxx' (project report name), + add requirements (e.g., it needs to include 10 core chapters, with 3 - 5 sub - sections under each chapter, and indicate the recommended word count for each sub - section, with a total word count of 10,000 words)."

• Step 2: 20 minutes - Use AI to batch - fill modules (goal: 6000 words) - Ask separate questions for each sub - section (e.g., "Write a paragraph about '2.1 Functional Zoning', including the technical parameters of the automated three - dimensional warehouse, AGV dispatching center, and cold - chain area, presented in a data list format.")

• Step 3: 20 minutes - Use AI to complete soft content (goal: 1000 words) - Add soft content such as policy endorsements, risk assessments, and benefit calculations. For example, list the 3 common technical risks in an intelligent logistics park (e.g., AGV system downtime), and provide a 100 - word response plan for each.

• Step 4: 10 minutes - Use AI to optimize - Unify the wording. For example, "Rewrite the following paragraph in the style of a government report, adding keywords such as 'digital transformation' and 'dual - carbon strategy': {paste the original text}"; + Final polishing. For example, "Check the logical loopholes in the following proposal, list 3 points that may be questioned by customers, and provide response answers."

17. For LLM (Large Language Model) to be adapted to enterprise - level applications, organizing open and structured data sources is a prerequisite. ByteDance's Feishu can achieve online structuring of data and granular management of permissions through Multi - Dimensional Tables.

18. You can use DeepSeek to infer the original intention of an "instruction". Since DeepSeek understands the Chinese context better, by telling DeepSeek your years of work experience, job position, and work content, it can infer the purpose of the instructions given by your boss, so as to optimize your work content, make your output more targeted, and improve workplace communication efficiency.

19. On the R & D side, programmers can use Tongyi Lingma to improve efficiency; on the functional side, use general large models such as Doubao and Kimi for information retrieval, summarization in daily work, or participate in creative generation.

20. This year, we can expect large companies to layout the application of AI in specific scenarios. In the future, there will be more and more one - stop tool packages. For example, Quark APP has launched special functions such as AI video summarization, AI writing, and AI PPT based on the data insights brought by its advantages in the AI search field, which can meet the comprehensive needs of the workplace.

Job - Seeking Chapter: Use AI to Enhance Professional Competitiveness

See Yourself Under the "Iceberg" Faster

21. We say that young people should focus on finding their passion, while those with experience should focus on being loyal to their passion. In today's highly competitive industry, the requirements of enterprises for job seekers are also increasing. If job seekers want to deeply engage in a field, just having an interest is not enough. They need to be passionate about and good at it to have an advantage in the competition.

22. So the most important thing for job seekers now is to see themselves clearly and find the intersection of their passion and expertise. The Career Elevator AI mini - program can help job seekers first find the "self under the iceberg" and match job positions in the market according to their undiscovered traits. This is more suitable for those who want to change careers or are looking for opportunities.

23. In the fierce market competition, finding a job is no longer the ultimate goal of job seekers. "Finding a job with in - depth development prospects and the ability to let oneself shine continuously" has become the "perfect answer" in the minds of job seekers. This requires job seekers not only
