What actually happens to your job if AI gets really good at it

By Theodore02 · · 1 replies

Been thinking about this a lot lately and I am genuinely not sure how I feel about it. I work in a field where AI is already starting to do a decent chunk of what I do. Not perfectly, not brilliantly, but well enough that it makes you think. And I am not the only one noticing it. The thing that gets me is that everyone keeps saying AI will create new jobs to replace the old ones. Maybe that is true. It happened with the industrial revolution, it happened with the internet. But those transitions took generations. The people whose jobs disappeared did not always get to benefit from the new ones that showed up. So what actually happens in the middle? What happens to the people whose skills become less valuable faster than they can retrain? I am not trying to be doom and gloom about it. I just think it is a conversation worth having honestly rather than just defaulting to everything will be fine. Has anyone here actually changed career direction because of AI already? Or are you actively upskilling to stay ahead of it? Would love to hear real experiences not just theory.

Cool

ery week there is a “new best AI tool” and honestly I cannot even keep up anymore. One app writes emails, another makes videos, another builds websites, another replaces meetings 😅At this point I think the real skill is not learning every AI tool — it is learning which few actually improve your daily life or work.Right now I mostly stick to:ChatGPT for thinking/writingClaude for long documentsPerplexity for researchTrying to keep it simple honestly works better for me.What tools are people actually using consistently and not just testing once then forgetting about?
