Correct. Reminds me of the 1990’s when everyone thought that “webmaster” was going to be the next hot job. Then devs destroyed the job category with content management systems.

Same thing here. If your job is to repetitively enter data, it’s not going to be your job for very long.

Unless you’re contributing to the top line of a company, your job is at risk from AI at some point in the next decade.

When AI is good enough to sell 7-figure+ deals to corporates, and decision makers trust it more than humans, that will be the tipping point for all of it.

Sounds simple but if you know anything about revenue growth then you’ll know this will be the last thing AI actually solves for.

Helpdesk is gone. Admins are gone. Reception, gone. Analysts, not in the first round but they’re gone. Middle management who just corral humans, gone.

When AI can sell shit and buyers trust it enough to stump up enough money that they could get fired if it goes wrong - forget AGI, that will be the inflection point.
