AI isn’t going to replace you (TLDR at bottom).

For all of human history, the way technology worked was man with tools vs man with tools, and as technology improved, it became man with tools vs man with better tools.

Until AI hits the point of true "AGI" (at which point it will become man vs machine), it will always be this way.

So I say it again: AI is not going to replace you - it is a tool.

Does this mean ignore AI?

No, absolutely not.

This is because someone who uses AI might replace you, and even if you're aware of AI, someone else might use it better than you.

The same thing happened in the early 2000s, when some people took advantage of the internet.

The same thing happened in the early 2010s, when some people took advantage of social media.

The same thing happened at the beginning of COVID, when some people took advantage of short form content.

The same thing is happening now. As AI gets better and more available, you have this unique opportunity to be an early adopter.

Of course, there are problems that come with being an early adopter. But when I think about what they actually are (probably that sales cycles are harder because most of the market isn't problem-aware), I'm way happier to deal with the upsides.

Hopefully this helps combat another one of these "OpenClaw will erase all jobs" or "Claude Code will erase programmers" or "Nano banana will kill all design and creative jobs" posts.
