πͺ Unpopular opinion: the 'AI will replace your job' conversation is being used to sell fear - not solutions.
π Here's what I actually see happening in workplaces with the professionals I work with:
π€ AI isn't replacing experienced people. It's being handed to early-career employees who have no context, no judgment, and no ability to catch the mistakes it makes.
β‘ What IS actually happening:
β Managers who use AI strategically are getting more done
β Their teams look more capable
β They get promoted
β οΈ The threat isn't that AI will take your job. The threat is that someone who knows how to use AI will become more valuable than you - not because they're smarter, but because they've practiced.
π‘ 20 years of industry judgment + AI fluency = an advantage a 27-year-old simply doesn't have yet.
