Kevin Surace moved from paying $1,500 for a week of writing to generating a draft in five minutes with AI. He says professionals who can't use AI tools won't get hired, while those who master multiple tools will earn more and land better jobs.
This CEO just exposed exactly who gets the job and who doesn't, and it's not who you think. I used to pay $1,500 a blog post and we'd go back and forth and it'd take a week or two and I'd get it done. And it was good. It wasn't perfect, but it was good. I had to edit it. You know the deal, right? I don't pay $1,500 a blog post anymore because I can have a blog post in 5 minutes that I've queued up. I mean, I've probably written 2 or 3 paragraphs. Like, I had to really think thoughtfully about what I was putting in there. And then when I get out and what I edit, but still in 5 or 10 minutes, I'm done with the task. And so if I was a blog post independent blog post writer, I might want to upskill myself in some way, right? I might want to be the— as I say, you might want to be the robot overlord because people will pay you if you are using AI to the nth degree. People are going to pay you a lot. And if you walk in and say, I'm applying for this job, but I've never used AI, probably not getting hired. And that's true with college grads today. We've got college grads coming out going, yeah, I haven't really used AI, played with a little bit. And others saying, I got these 10 tools you've never heard of and I'm going to bring them here. Who gets hired?
