A short transcript excerpt from a YouTube conversation titled "Will AI Replace VAs?" (recorded Sept 29, 2025) in which Will Humphreys asks whether AI will replace virtual assistants. The respondent argues historical technological shifts have not eliminated human value but relocated it; AI will change jobs and where human value sits, emphasizing tools and leverage rather than complete replacement, and invoking the adage that we shape tools and then tools shape us.

What's your take on the fear that a lot of people are saying that AI is going to replace VAs altogether?
All of those time periods cause anxiety because all of them rewired the world in a lot of way. But I don't think that, if I look through that lens, I don't think that none of those inflection points eliminated human value. They just modified or shifted where the value lived. Right. And so when we're looking at this artificial intelligence revolution, I think that, you know, definitely jobs are going to be shift, and the value that a human can bring will be shifted. But it's more a conversation of tools and leverage than, like, completely replacing someone, I feel like. And if you look at history, like, I think there's a famous quote. I forget who says it, but we shape tools, and then tools shape us.
