When analyzing this topic, most people are afraid of the wrong thing, of something along the lines of fully autonomous AI agents completely taking over. Which, for the foreseeable future and for the overwhelming majority of jobs, is VERY unlikely.

Does this mean your job is safe?

I'm afraid not.

Because as this video makes clear, it's not AI robots like you see in SciFi movies that you should be afraid of but rater scenarios such as a fellow human being who knows how to use AI taking your job... along with that of all your coworkers.

Can we at least be certain that just like with the previous Industrial Revolutions, more than enough new jobs will be created this time around as well?

Yet again, the answer is no.

Past performance does not guarantee future results, as many of you already know, so we can only HOPE that is the case. But since hoping is not exactly the wisest strategy, the name of the game is also preparing for the worst and starting to think about how you can start leveraging AI to become better and better at whatever it is you currently do.

If you can't beat them, join them!
