Key takeaways

  • Probably not, but people who use AI well will out-produce people who do not.
  • The safest strategy is to become the person in your team who uses it best.

Roles built around routine text production, basic image work, and pattern matching are being reshaped fastest. Roles built around judgment, relationships, negotiation, hands-on trades and taste are safer.

The consistent research finding: within any role, workers who fluently use AI produce more and are more valuable, not less. Fear less, practice more.
