you gonna hate me for this but AI already replaced you.
> you spent 4 years getting a degree
AI learned the same thing in 4 minutes
> you mastered design pixel by pixel
AI generates 50 versions before you open Figma
> you learned to code the hard way
a kid with zero experience ships faster than your entire team
> you wrote copy for 8 hours
AI wrote better copy in 8 seconds
> you spent weeks on market research
AI did it in one prompt
> you built a portfolio over years
someone cloned your style overnight
> you finally landed the job
your first project is figuring out who AI replaces
spoiler: it's you
> you upskilled like they told you to
the new skill got automated before you finished the course
> you switched careers
the new career switched first
> you freelanced
clients asked why they'd pay you when AI is free
> you started a business
someone rebuilt it in a weekend with a prompt
> you tried being creative
AI won an art competition
> you tried being strategic
AI crunched the data faster than you could read it
> you tried being irreplaceable
then they replaced you and posted record profits the same quarter
the CEO tweets "AI empowers our team"
the same week half the team gets a Slack message at 9am
> "your role has been impacted"
impacted. not fired. impacted.
like a meteor. like a car crash. like something that hits you and keeps moving.
> you're told adapt
you adapt
they hire someone cheaper who also adapted
> you're told learn AI
you learn AI
now you're training your replacement
> you're told be human, that's your edge
then they optimize the human out of the process
still
they say "AI creates more jobs than it destroys"
they say "just add value"
they say "be grateful you're living through this"
grateful?
you're not competing with people anymore.
you're competing with something that doesn't sleep.
doesn't eat.
doesn't negotiate.
doesn't burn out.
doesn't ask for a raise.
doesn't take sick days.
doesn't have a bad Monday.
and it's getting better every single day.
every. single. day.
and this is the slowest AI will ever be.
let that sink in.
