You Will Become Useless!
Yes, you read right: You might soon be out of a job. Or at least that’s what some headlines will have you believe. Sounds terrifying, doesn’t it? But before you panic, let’s take a calm moment to look at what’s really happening here.
As someone who spent over 30 years solving problems in the world of business and software, I’ve seen my share of technologies come and go. From the first business software to cloud solutions and now to artificial intelligence, every leap forward brought fear and excitement in equal measure. Hard to believe, but there was a time when some people didn’t know what Excel was, and some even refused to work with it. This AI, it’s no different, just a bit faster and, because of its vast knowledge base, surprisingly creative.
Maybe you’re thinking, "I’m not interested in AI. I have zero interest in coding, AI-assisted or otherwise. My life is complicated enough already. Do I really need another app, another solution, more data? No thanks, I prefer calm and peace." And I get it, genuinely I do. As a simple human being, I value simplicity, directness, and peace as much as anyone else. But here’s the honest truth: Ignoring AI won’t stop it from reshaping the world around you.
Look around. AI is already embedded in your daily life, whether you realize it or not. Your phone, your car, your streaming services—all powered or improved by artificial intelligence. It’s no longer science fiction. It’s today’s reality. But here’s the thing—this shouldn’t frighten you. I understand, rapid change can be overwhelming. It sometimes feels too fast, too much, especially when our human minds are desperately trying to keep up.
But let me reassure you. AI isn’t here to take away our peace or happiness. Instead, eventually, it will become our helpful companion. It will free us from mundane tasks and heavy mental loads. We won’t need to exhaust our personal "processors" and mental "hard drives" just to survive or compete. With AI doing more heavy lifting, we humans can find time again—to truly live and cherish what really matters.
Think of those moments that AI could never replicate: The quiet joy of walking slowly through a forest as spring awakens around you, or the pride and warmth you feel when your child scores his first goal on the soccer pitch. These are the moments we are truly here for, and AI cannot—and never will—take them away.
However, this does raise an important question: Why should you bother understanding or even recognizing the possibilities of AI? Why have even a little interest in something like AI-assisted coding?
Here’s why: AI assistant coding will soon reach a level where you don’t need to know the complex stuff to reap its benefits. Even if you never become a coder, understanding a bit about how AI can generate code and solutions will save you from relying on expensive, complicated software packages that never quite match your exact needs. You know how frustrating it is to buy software—it’s expensive, it often arrives late, and it’s rarely exactly what you need. Instead, it’s usually an imperfect compromise between cost, delivery, and functionality.
Imagine a scenario where AI-assisted coding solves exactly this issue. You express your idea, your problem, your need—clearly and simply—and AI turns your vision into reality. No need for heavy technical knowledge or excessive costs. In the future, most of our jobs will change with AI—some slightly, others significantly. Rather than fearing this change, I suggest embracing it.
You see, AI itself isn’t making us obsolete—it’s how we choose to respond that matters. Quite ironically, using AI is our best defense against becoming irrelevant because of it. Twisted logic, perhaps, but undeniably true. The solution to fear is straightforward: learn, adapt, and grow alongside AI. Treat it like a trusted friend and assistant, not an enemy. Together, humans and AI can achieve amazing things.
