Since the rise of AI, do you feel that your job is at risk? And what about certain professions?

I don't write code anymore. I write documentations that AI use to write code. The whole way of thinking, is not like of a developer anymore. It is like a project manager that has done coding before.

Now we need more communication and language skill. To express ourselves better and precise so that even AI can understand it. ;) They don't teach us that skills in the technical universities ;)

Here's a teachers perspective. -One thing that AI will replace is the motivation of the students to learn. The education system was carved out of the great depression and is in place to teach students to be good factory workers. My students already see their future as hopeless.

I believe we will see an impact to all professions of one type of another - even manual labor jobs with the rise of robotics. Being in the computer industry for most of my career - the one thing that was content was change. And you had to learn to learn - continually learn something new. AI has dramatically changed how I do everything in my life. As much as it will change careers, it will also advance things like medicine, cancer research, etc. I have seen many advances and changes in the tech world in my career ... from PCs, to the Web, to mobile, and now to AI. I think AI will be the biggest impact that I haven't even fathomed.

I'm busier than ever, mainly because the roadblocks are removed. You hit on a good point: when the tools exist to do more, then more is expected from each of us. When email was adopted in business, everyone used email and fax machines were left behind.

The copywriter example hits close to home, it wasn't AI that changed the job, it was clients using AI as a negotiation tool. That's a different problem, and it's happening across a lot of fields faster than people realize

In my work, I actually feel AI makes things more productive. A lot of basic work can be handled quickly, which gives more time to focus on ideas, problem-solving, and improving quality. For example, we don’t always need to write code from scratch anymore, AI helps with the starting point and we can build on top of it.

I do think AI may replace some repetitive parts of work, but at the same time it pushes us to improve our skills and use these tools better. When used well, AI helps us scale our work and do more meaningful things instead of spending time only on basics.

As a content creator who dabbled in copywriting early on, that client ultimatum hits home, tbvh. But I've had similar convos where AI was pitched as the "cheaper faster" fix. It did squeeze rates and gigs for pure text work, forcing a pivot.

Here's the silver lining tho for me: it pushed me toward AI-assisted generalism, blending human insight with tools for research, ideation, and even video scripts. Now I focus on strategy + voice that AI can't nail yet, like nuanced branding for founders.

My experience is less volume in writing, but higher-value projects where empathy and adaptation win (at least for me).

Honest answer: I don’t feel my job is at risk, but I’m acutely aware that what the job looks like is changing fast.

Building in the AI space, I see both sides. We’re building Hello Aria, an AI day-management assistant (WhatsApp/iOS), and our whole premise is that AI should handle the cognitive overhead of managing your schedule, reminders, and daily tasks so humans can focus on the things only humans can do — relationships, creative work, judgment calls.

But the honest tension is: every role that’s primarily about information routing or pattern matching is getting compressed. What’s expanding is work that requires context, empathy, and genuine novelty. The real risk isn’t "AI takes your job" — it’s "someone using AI does your job better" and the window to adapt is shorter than most people think.
