I tried replacing myself with AI once. It backfired spectacularly.
I tried replacing myself with AI once. It backfired spectacularly. A year ago, I went all-in on automation. Hired zero humans. Built everything with AI. Emails? Automated. Marketing? Automated. Strategy? You guessed it right... automated. I spent weeks perfecting prompts and training models. At first, it felt like I'd cracked the code. Everything was fast. Efficient. Data-driven. But then I noticed something disturbing: → The emails had no soul → The campaigns felt generic → The decisions? Technically correct but strategically wrong That's when it clicked: AI didn't fail me. I failed it. I was trying to replace humans when I should've been empowering them. So I rebuilt everything from scratch. I trained my team to think like strategists and gave them AI to execute like machines. The results? 5-day campaigns now take 5 hours Decisions became faster AND smarter Creativity didn't die it multiplied Here's what most people get wrong about AI: It's not AI vs. Humans. It's AI + Humans. One thinks. One scales. The real threat isn't AI taking your job. The real threat is someone who knows how to use AI taking your job. I'm building hybrid systems that combine human intuition with AI precision. If you want to see how this works behind the scenes, follow me I'm sharing everything I learn here. If you believe the future is hybrid, repost this ♻️
