Kevin Surace argues AI won't kill jobs but will free humans from routine cognitive work. Marketing productivity could jump 20 to 40 times over. Instead of being the robot doing tedious tasks, you'll direct the robots.
People always ask, is my job going away? Well, many tasks that you thought were important and you thought you were really good at are probably going to leave this planet, right? They don't need to be done by a human anymore. Just like no human really needs to do long division in their head any longer. It is quite possible that most writing, literally starting with a single word and writing a 10-page report, or literally writing out word by word a blog post, that's a task no one's gonna be doing. I'm sorry, it's just, they're not gonna be doing it. But it will take every marketing person and make them 20 or 30 or 40 times more productive on that task. So you'll still be the robot overlord, but you're not going to be the robot anymore.
