You're not going to be replaced by AI
It's more likely you'll be replaced by someone who knows how to use it.
One line has been stuck in my head all week.
“You are not going to be replaced by AI. You are going to be replaced by the person next to you who learned to use it.”
That’s not me trying to scare you. Tony Robbins recently interviewed Ray Kurzweil, the futurist who predicted the internet, the smartphone, and self-driving cars before most people owned a computer. Kurzweil has been forecasting this for thirty years, and he says human-level AI arrives by 2029. That’s three years away.
And it’s not just him. Yoshua Bengio, who won the Turing Award, computing’s top prize, for the deep-learning breakthroughs that today’s AI is built on, says the jobs that go first are the ones you do behind a keyboard. It’s only a matter of time.
It’s already showing up. Recent college graduates are now sitting at 5.6% unemployment against 4.2% for the workforce as a whole, the widest that gap has ever been. Klarna has taken its team from about 7,000 people down to 3,000 since 2022, letting AI cover the roles it stopped refilling. And one business owner just settled a legal fight a firm quoted him sixty grand for, using a twenty-dollar-a-month AI tool instead. I could go on. The examples are many.
I’m not saying this from the outside. I’ve put more than 1,200 hours into AI over the last 8 months, into my own life and my own businesses. And the deeper I go, the more these people sound right. It scares the crap out of me too. Not someday. Now.
You don’t have the power to stop this. Neither do I.
So I’m trying to do something about it. Like Tony Robbins, I hate to see suffering. Suffering is inevitable. But I believe I can do something about it, in a small way. That’s why I’m writing to you today.
Here’s what I’m doing. Three days, live and free, July 14th, 15th and 16th. I’ll show you exactly how I built an AI system that runs the busywork of my life and my business, one you own, in one folder on your own machine that nobody can shut off. No code. Nothing technical.
Three days won’t make you an expert. It’ll get you off the sidelines, and the sidelines are the one place you can’t afford to be right now.
