During a recent chat with my boss, I learned that our division head will soon pick an AI software for the company—one designed to churn out business proposals at lightning speed. The idea of saving time sounds great, but I can’t ignore the nagging worry that my job might be on the chopping block. That old fear of AI taking over, which I’ve tried to push aside, is sneaking back into my thoughts.
I’ve always thought that human experience, creativity, and gut instincts were things no machine could touch. But with AI getting smarter every day, I’m starting to question where the boundary lies. Will these tools just help us work smarter, or could they eventually shove some of us out the door? The not-knowing part is what’s eating at me.
They’re aiming to finalize the AI choice by May or June. So, if I go quiet on here all of a sudden, it might mean I’ve ended up as collateral damage in the company’s AI takeover. It’s a bitter irony—years spent sharpening my skills, only for tech to swoop in and put their worth in doubt in no time flat.
Even so, I’m clinging to some optimism. Maybe AI will just be a handy sidekick, not a full-on replacement. Maybe there’s still something about human know-how and intuition that machines can’t mimic. Guess I’ll see how it shakes out soon enough.
