Do you fear AI?

Imagine this: you just got fired from your work. The company you’re working for no longer needs you because they’ve got AI that does the same work as you do but in a much better way. So they don’t need you anymore. “We can churn out 100x higher-quality content in less time without needing you.” That’s the reason they give you for firing.

But now you’ve got trouble. You’ve lost your job, you aren’t making any money, but you have bills to pay, food to eat, and a life to live. And it’s pretty challenging to do those things without making any money. Right?

So you try searching for new jobs, but you can’t get one. No one wants to hire you because you have no valuable skills. You’re just another content or freelance writer with some writing skills. And due to the era of AI, no one sees the importance of hiring you.

Months pass, you exhaust your backup money, you have no job, no money, and you’re hungry as hell. You need money.

What will you do now? Probably anything.

Tell me, how terrifying can this story be?

This one thing, which we call “AI,” not only killed your job but also ruined your life. Literally, this is happening. So many people have lost their jobs, and so many people have been fired from their work. Because AI can do the same thing as you, but 100x better. So they don’t need you. Now let me ask you…

Do you fear AI?

My answer: you should and you shouldn’t. Yes, you heard it right. You should and you shouldn’t. Let me explain: Most people, especially content writers or freelance writers, are afraid of AI.

They consistently ask these questions: Will AI replace content writers? Will AI kill freelance jobs? Is AI better than content writers or freelancers?

If you’re a content writer or freelance writer, you can absolutely relate to these questions. Are you?

In the world of AI, like ChatGPT, Bard, Midjourney, and so many other powerful AI tools, every task you can imagine is easier to do. Hours or days of work can be completed in minutes. AI is faster than humans, with more accuracy. Ever.

And you NEED to understand it.

You need to understand its power, efficiency, and speed. But let me be clear with you: You shouldn’t fear AI, but learn and master it.

AI will replace all the “Doers” who do the work of “Doing,” but AI will never replace a “Thinker” who thinks.

AI will not replace your job, but the person who knows how to use AI tools will.

One thing AI lacks is emotions and feelings. If you give it a prompt or input, it will give you the outcome without emotions and feelings.

It doesn’t understand those senses. It can give you all the information and accurate data you ever wanted. But that’s not enough, right? We as humans want stories and a personal touch.

And AI doesn’t have that personal touch and stories. But if you know how to inject stories and experience into your writing, you’re good. No one is going to replace you.

Conversely, if you know how to use AI tools like ChatGPT and Bard, you can make your work 10–100x easier. Let it do the “Doing” work for you, and your job is to “Think.”

Give it the most accurate and best prompt so it can give you the best top-notch results.

But to master these tools, you really need to use them. You have to play around with them. You have to practice them. Use them for your work. Whatever you do, writing blog posts, articles, newsletters, tweets, scripts, whatever. Use them and master them.

And if you know how to use AI for your work, you don’t fear it, but it becomes your superpower.

Does that make sense?
