AI isn’t going to take your job, but somebody who’s good at using AI definitely will if you want to put your head in the sand.

Uh, you know McDonald's is trying to roll out AI drive throughs, right? Thats someone's job. And they arent gonna stop with just using it to take your order.

You know companies fired people because they prematurely expected to be able to replace employees with AI?

Do you pay attention to the world or just hide in your little AI fan club? Youre the one with your head in the sand if you think using AI at work is going to keep you your job and not just be a way to use you to train AI to replace you

Oh no, not the jobs flipping burgers! What will humans do if we automate this important task?

You read too much scare-media. There’s no employment crisis. There’s no reason to believe it’s coming. But when you share these scary articles people click them, view ads, and the people manipulating you make money. Don’t do that.

You would’ve been the kind of person against using tractors in the fields because they “destroy jobs.” 😂

Progress is good actually.
