A short YouTube monologue (speaker: Robert Ta) arguing that AI itself won’t directly ‘take’ jobs; rather, people who adopt and use AI tools will gain advantage and displace those who avoid it. The video encourages individuals to lean into AI to protect personal and local economic wellbeing while acknowledging broader societal upheaval.
Do you think AI is going to kill us all? Take our jobs? Are you avoiding trying to use AI? Well, guess what? Who's actually going to take your job? The person that is leaning into it. That's not avoiding AI and the future, that's embracing the future and what good could come out of it? That person, those people will take your job. AI is not taking your job. It's creating opportunities. For sure there will be devastating levels of economic change, social change. But I tend to think what is in the individual's control, what is in your control? What's in your control is not these global things. Go vote, go do all that for sure, do your duty as a global citizen. But what's in your control for your family, yourself, your community around you, the local impact you can make keeping your job security in the future. Well, that's leaning into it. Leaning into the future. So in summary, it's not AI that's going to take your job. The people leaning into AI co evolving with the tools. It's going to take your job. So go get after it.
