On a usual Sunday morning, you wake up, maybe with a cup of tea, and open a news portal just to see what is happening in the world. Within minutes, you find yourself reading article after article saying the same thing. AI will replace this role. AI will replace that role. In two months. In six months. In a year.
Earlier, these headlines felt unsettling. Now they feel familiar. Different company. Different face. Same dramatic prediction. The tone changes slightly, but the message stays the same. After a while, it stops sounding urgent and starts sounding repetitive.
Sometimes it feels like before AI replaces any human role, it should replace these endless forecasts and podcasts about replacement. Maybe then we could use that space to focus on something more useful, more thoughtful, and a little less obsessed with countdowns to irrelevance.
