AI Won’t Replace You…

…If You Don’t Let It.

AI won’t replace you…. if you don’t let it.

So how do you not let it replace you?

Well, whatever the industry, technology has always made us more efficient at getting things done.

Take farming for example.

We went from hand-held digging sticks, to the horse-drawn plow, to the machines of the industrial revolution, and the precision agriculture of today.

These tools empowered farmers to get more done with less resources, and in less time.

You’d be crazy to still be using the hand-held digging sticks of our ancestors to prepare your crops today.

Not just crazy, but irrelevant.

This same phenomenon holds true with AI.

AI will empower us to get a lot more done with less.

A law firm won’t need 10 associates — they might need one or two really good ones who know how to use AI effectively.

A startup won’t need 10 developers, they might need one or two really good ones who know how to use AI effectively.

Similarly, an entrepreneur might not need a team of 10 or 20. They might only need a team of two to three people, supported by an army of AI agents.

AI won’t replace you… if you learn how to use it to become 10-times the lawyer, developer, entrepreneur, or *insert profession here* that you are today.

If you don’t evolve, you’ll quickly find yourself as irrelevant as the farmer still using a digging stick to loosen their soil.

Whether you choose to see AI as a threat or an opportunity is a predictor of your outcomes.

Adapt or perish.
