AI vs. Humans: Will AI Replace Us?

[00:00:11] Kasim: Will AI replace me? I don't like the way this conversation's manifesting, by the way. it's very polarized. On one hand, you're like, oh my goodness, the world's gonna end chicken. Little skies falling. Everybody's job is gone. And then on the other end is, no, you're gonna be fine. There's no risk whatsoever.

[00:00:26] Kasim: Bury your head in the sand. I'm in the middle. and one of the things I've been put in check a little bit because maybe I, veer a little chicken little, but I'm more moderate. I had a friend say, dude, the sun's gonna come up tomorrow. Like, it's gonna be fine. But that's true. However, we've seen historically that like industries do die.

[00:00:41] Kasim: You know what I mean? The assembly line killed massive industries and jobs, and then those people had to adjust. And so that's, the narrative that I think is taking place here. It used to be that everything that you would buy, Quite literally everything that you would buy was created by an artisan, and that artisan was heavily paid.

[00:00:56] Kasim: here I have my, coffee cup, okay? And this coffee cup, if you go far enough back in history, had to have been created by hand by a skilled artisan who developed this trade over time and was able to feed his or her family creating one coffee cup at a time, and then humanity figured out the assembly line.

[00:01:15] Kasim: And then the Artisan's job got commoditized to a pretty significant degree because you had, the specialization of, you know, of the elements of the coffee cup the artisan was able to keep up from a manufacturing standpoint. and so the assembly line commoditized the value of the artisan.

[00:01:27] Kasim: and then from the assembly line came the manufacturing plant, which actually commoditized the value of the person on the assembly line and the manufacturing plant. There was still needed people, but you needed one person for every 25 to monitor the machine. So what I would tell you is pay attention to your industry.

[00:01:45] Kasim: If you're a graphic designer right now, I'd be worried. I don't think your job's going away, but I think the state and nature of your job is. In jeopardy. It's true for me. I own a Google Ads agency. We do, we manage ad campaigns that I'm seeing computers starting to manage pretty well. So I think what ends up happening for me is on a long enough timeline, we're actually not managing campaigns.

[00:02:08] Kasim: Our core job becomes reporting. It becomes the input, and then making sure that the AI can always see the output, which is actually a really, really hard job. Might be hard on what we're doing now, but I I have to have that on the horizon.
