Don’t EVEN ask the question. The answer is YES.
Cybersecurity? Models will detect, exploit, patch, and write the postmortem for the zero-days that haven’t been discovered yet.
Food delivery? The burrito will be assembled, priced, routed, and reviewed by models negotiating with other models. And who will delivery the food? Of course, AI self-driven vehicles. The only human in the loop will be you — a temporary inefficiency, which will be eliminated when it simply starts predicting your hunger.
Therapy? Replaced by a system fine-tuned on every transcript and never exhausted by your mind-numbing ramblings of your childhood trauma.
Teaching? Replaced by adaptive tutors that detect cognitive fatigue and adjust difficulty, tone, and encouragement levels dynamically. On second thought, you may not even need that since there would be no point of learning anything.
Movies, videos, music? AI will be your personal studio running 24x7. It will drop a surprise album at midnight referencing that oddly specific memory from 2014 you never told anyone about. Celebrities won’t age as they will just virtual, personalized personas existing just for you.
Every workflow, every profession will reduce to an API call with billing rates attached. The GDP of entire sectors would collapse into server racks.
Your think your expertise will have any value? It will represent a fleeting arbitrage between what models cannot yet do and what they will accomplish next quarter.
Building a brand, slide deck, app, or startup will mean nothing. Any idea you can think of will have already been simulated thousands of times to produce an optimized version of everything possible. Think you can do better? The AI would’ve already priced in your optimism, your skepticism, and your eventual acceptance.
The value of everything except AI overloads would approach zero. Everything that matters would be replicated, optimized, and eventually distributed at marginal cost.
So, when you ask whether your field is safe, whether your niche is defensible, whether your uniqueness gives you leverage, understand this: your pitiful little existence, your insights, your “hard-won knowledge” is just a raw material for whatever is coming next. Your nothing more than lamb that gets bred, fattened, and eventually sacrificed.
