Were you one of those who had their job replaced by AI?

I often read on social media that people are complaining about their jobs being replaced by AI. You often see headlines where there are mass layoffs from tech companies, but this doesn't always seem related to AI.

That brings me to my question. Has anyone here lost their job to AI? For the self-employed bunch, have you lost clients or customers to AI?
 
No, at least not yet.

In my field AI raised the bar rather than replaced professionals.
Seems like AI won't replace humans, but people who take advantage of AI to improve their deliverables will replace those who didn't.
 
What was their job?
Content writers and product research.

Merged it into 1 role, that person had a pay rise and they understand ai prompting.

Can't rely on ai 100% for content it's like 95% there for my niche still needs to be directed by someone who understands the product.

I think this was a solid business decision you made here.
 
feel the situation is just as bad for people like myself who have yet to enter the job market properly. Intern and Junior roles are disappearing. It seems now any job from CS and IT to Law and Accounting to Film and Music production you need to mould around the application of AI first and foremost. It looks like it's going to end up becoming a focal point. But everyone will be doing the same thing. So what will you bring to the table to stand out from the crowd when everyone is now an AI expert? Couple that with super low outsourcing costs to people with these 'skills' and you've got a real problem if you live in a tier one country.

Studying CS seems like a burden now sometimes rather than a privilage. There seems to be a niche in designing AI agent security right now, but I have lost faith in pursuing computer based jobs. Morale is just not there. I am thinking of ways to apply what I know and have learned to something hands-on, like the built environment. I've been trying to use a lot of my spare time to learn about constuction. I know virtually nothing about it right now. I wouldn't have liked to and would prefer just to sit on my ass in front of a conputer all day as much as the next guy but I feel it's becoming a matter of long-term survivial at this point to have more 'offline' skills too.

Yes, content writing about 5 days monthly. The rest of my time I spent writing non-sense on the internet, about 40 posts a day. :D

Now I'm at social media. And I'm grateful the shift happened!

I complained about technical and coding computer based jobs before AI. It was still too fast and saturated for me before.
