AI won’t steal your job

but someone using it might

January 10, 2025

Let’s clear something up: AI isn’t here to take your job.

That’s just fear-mongering.

The truth is that AI doesn’t replace people. It replaces tasks. 

And the people who learn how to leverage AI? They’re the ones who win.

Here’s what I mean.

Everyone talks about AI, but no one has the time to learn it. So, we found the easiest way to learn AI in as little time as possible: The Rundown AI.

It's a free AI newsletter that keeps you up-to-date on the latest AI news, and teaches you how to apply it in just 5 minutes a day.

Plus, complete the quiz after signing up and they’ll recommend the best AI tools, guides, and courses – tailored to your needs.

Last month, I met a marketing executive. He was drowning in work. Too many meetings, endless emails, and no time for strategy.

His biggest frustration? Writing weekly client reports. He said it took him 4 hours every Friday, which he didn’t have.

So, we tried a simple test. I gave him a ChatGPT prompt:

“Summarize this data into a professional marketing report. Highlight key trends and recommend next steps.”

He uploaded his spreadsheet and watched as ChatGPT turned raw numbers into a polished draft in minutes.

He didn’t just save hours, he also noticed something else: AI didn’t replace his expertise. It amplified it. He still reviewed the draft, added insights only he could provide, and made it personal for his clients.

The result? A better report, delivered faster, with less stress.

And that’s the secret no one’s talking about.

AI isn’t about replacing people it’s about replacing repetitive work, so you can focus on what really matters. Strategizing, decision-making, and creativity.

Here’s how you can start:

  1. Identify a Repetitive Task: What’s one thing that takes too much of your time every week? Emails, data analysis, scheduling—anything that feels like busywork.

  2. Test an AI Tool: Use ChatGPT, Bard, or a similar tool to handle part of that task. Start with something small, like drafting an email or summarizing a document.

  3. Refine and Improve: AI gives you a starting point, not a finished product. Review, edit, and make it yours.

Let me make this practical. Take 2 minutes and try this prompt:

“Write a professional email to [specific audience] about [topic] based on these [data]. Keep it clear, concise, and actionable.”

What could you accomplish if an AI tool handled the first draft of your work?

The future isn’t about humans vs. AI it’s about humans with AI vs. those without.

Your move.
