Every day, we say things like, “AI will not take your job. Someone who uses AI will.”
I used to share this opinion for a long time. But the bitter truth is: AI will take most of our jobs. In fact, it already has.
Have you ever stopped to ask yourself why people in tech fields like digital marketing, cybersecurity, graphic design, etc., are shifting from offering services to selling courses?
If you think people are happily training their competitors, dey play. Just dey play.
Consider those who used to make a lot of money from copywriting—writing blog articles, product descriptions, social media posts, and more. Who needs them now when anyone can pull out their phone, open ChatGPT, and get high-quality content in under a minute?
Think about graphic designers. These days, anyone can grab a phone, open Canva, choose a template, and have a finished design within minutes. Some just prompt AI tools like ChatGPT or Midjourney and get professional-grade designs instantly.
Voiceovers? People used to earn well from that. Now, anyone can paste a script into ElevenLabs and get a high-quality voiceover—even in their own voice—within minutes.
And what about those who made huge sums from web and app development? There are so many no-code tools now that even without writing a single line of code, you can create stunning websites and applications.
Photographers once made good money, but today, companies are using AI-generated images and videos for their ads. Even models are losing their jobs to AI-generated visuals.
Instead of consulting a doctor, many people now turn to ChatGPT to self-diagnose. Marriage counselors? Forget it. At the first sign of relationship trouble, people are asking Meta AI for advice.
I could go on and on—the list is endless.
If you’re expecting me to offer a solution or a “way forward,” I’m sorry to disappoint you.
Personally, I used to design four to six websites per month. Now, I struggle to get even one.
We’re screwed
