Here’s another reframe. AI doesn’t take your job. AI takes the job of the previous AI. For example, Midjourney took the job of Stable Diffusion. And Claude Code is competing for the job of OpenAI Codex. Because once you know how to prompt an AI model in a given domain, once it’s really part of your workflow, it’s easy to swap in a new one. That means you’re always “employing” an AI image model, an AI code model, an AI video model, and so on. You essentially have budget for AI contractors in each vertical. But you’re constantly upgrading to the best new model. Thus: AI takes the job of the previous AI.
