This misses out on what AI (when used properly) can do. If I build my own CRM that uses off the shelf AI (collects form data, searches for relevant social media and company information, builds a dossier on the person etc – all fairly simple things to do with the right tools) and it does ALL the things that Salesforce does (and more) at a fraction of the price, I no longer need Salesforce. And if improving my AI-based program requires no code, just more refined instruction sets, I don’t need devs. If I do the same thing for email, marketing, social posting etc. I can then run a business with tools that I tell how they should work, and that do a better job than those in the SaaS marketplace. At that point, I am not just replacing jobs, I am replacing companies.

Maybe your job isn’t at risk of being replaced, but your entire organization is.

Many people on various platforms say that AI is about to replace developers, but I find that most people selling courses or APIs say the same thing. I think the layoffs are due to the economic downturn; they talk about AI to sound cool.

Look to the hiring patterns, particularly for those coming out of uni. While AI might not kill your job options, companies seem quite willing to do so.

I think that jobs will change with AI, that's it
