AI Might Get Rid Of Jobs But Might Open The Door To Others
On a recent episode of AI For Humans the hosts had an interesting discussion about AI, which is on track for the show, and how it might eliminate some jobs, but will probably create new types of jobs as well.
Artificial Intelligence is here to stay.
Let's just get that fact out of the way.
AI will also make some jobs obsolete. That really sucks.
But what people aren't really talking about is that with all these "vibe-coded" apps and systems being built, there are going to be new jobs emerging.
On the latest episode of AI for Humans, the hosts, Gavin Purcell & Kevin Pereira, discussed that there will be a new type of position out there for coders. Those who audit, secure, and check AI "vibe-coded" programs that us "normies" have built. This could be a VERY lucrative industry.
I also think that with AI "vibe-coding" taking off, we're going to see a lot more efficiency happening in building apps and systems. I'm not exactly a hardcore coder, I know enough, but I love the fact that if I have an idea, I can get about 90% of the way there on my own, before bringing in more experienced folk to take whatever I'm working across the finish line. That's if it's needed at all.
"No-AI Ever" People
There are plenty of people online that say they will never use AI. Obviously I'm not one of them. These people will get left behind and will be at a disadvantage. Not being familiar with the tools available and what they can do, will put these people in a much worse spot than those who at least keep tabs on what's going on in the AI space.
I get where they are coming from. The see AI taking jobs away from people and the bad side of this evolution. But there is something to be said for using AI to augment what you're doing and improving your output.
Not A Fan With No Human Input AI
AI needs to have human input. Full Stop!
Putting out content that is AI written and not touched by a human is just spreading slop and benefits no-one. Copywriters should use AI for idea generation and other side-tasks to help with writing, but the actual writing should be a human endeavor.
Copywriters To Copy Editors
This is another spot where there will be some evolutionary changes. AI might write first drafts of copy, but that's where the copy editor comes in. These editors might have once been the writers doing the first pass of the article, just evolved.
Look, like everyone else, I can't predict the future. What I do know is AI is here and changing the world around us rapidly. It's best to be part of the change than getting left behind.

🎙️Have A Podcast? Join The Podcast Mastery Community🎙️

The news and content consumption landscape has shifted—and podcasts are leading the charge.
Younger generations aren't just occasionally listening to podcasts for news and information—they're abandoning traditional media for them. If you're not leveraging this medium, you're missing out on one of the most powerful ways to build your personal or professional brand.
Here's the problem: most people start a podcast without a roadmap. They waste months figuring out what works through trial and error, or worse—they give up entirely.
I've spent over 15 years in the podcast industry, watching it evolve from a niche hobby to a billion-dollar ecosystem. And here's what I know for certain: the podcasters who succeed don't go it alone. They learn from others who've already navigated the challenges, avoided the pitfalls, and cracked the code.
That's why I created the Podcast Mastery Community on Skool—a space where you can learn alongside experienced podcasters, get real feedback, and fast-track your success.
Whether you're launching your first episode or looking to grow your existing show, this is where your podcast journey truly begins.

Say what you will about LinkedIn. It's growing. I don't hate it like some people that I know do. But I also acknowledge that it's a closed ecosystem where I'm only renting my spot.

OpenClaw might look cool to use. Don't use it! Beware!

Surprised? Not one bit! The worst of AI.

DHS is using AI to make videos. This is proof of what side of history this administration is on.

Onward and upward. Honestly, at least they're warning people this time.

What possibly could go wrong? Where do I start? Holy crap this is bad.

Chrome has gone all in on AI, which is going to make it the most dominant AI-enabled browser out there, because so many use it and won't need to think about downloading a new browser to get AI features. This is a major advantage for Google.

Again SolarWinds is getting hacked. Ugh.

End of an era. Vimeo is going the way of Evernote. Private Equity strikes again.

Geezus... maybe don't put AI in kid toys?

Apple proves that it's greedy and pure evil.

Yea we're going to see more security holes as AI gets more embedded into corporate.

Spoiler... they're not.

Interesting webinar! Video might be the gateway drug to podcasting as a whole!

Molly takes no prisoners here! Worth a read!
This is big news. Now people won't flood the "main" instance for Mastodon and will find better communities that fit them better! This is a win!

Get off of TikTok and try Loops, the open social web's answer to short form videos.


I used to think it was silly to say things like ”we’re better when I was a kid”, but now I think it might be right.
