How AI Might Inadvertently Create More Jobs

Here’s the reality check on the “AI Job Apocalypse.”

Pull out a chair and listen up. The robots aren’t taking over just yet—mostly because they’re still figuring out how not to embarrass themselves.

Soul Still Sells

Everyone thinks AI copy is the silver bullet for marketing. It’s not. It turns out humans still prefer reading things written by other humans.

The numbers don’t lie: human-written ads are clocking 60% higher engagement than the algorithmic sludge. A machine can mimic syntax, but it can’t fake a pulse. Writers, keep your pencils sharp, you aren’t obsolete, you’re premium.

The “Vibe Coding” Hangover

“Vibe coding” sounds cool until you actually have to ship a product. I’ve messed around with it, it had more bugs than a picnic on a summer day in the woods near a lake.

Speed is an illusion if you spend your entire sprint fixing what the bot broke. That burns time, and time is expensive as hell. Someone still needs to understand the architecture when the house of cards collapses. Real developers aren’t going anywhere.

Hallucinations in the Courtroom

Then you have the legal world. Turns out, citing fake case law because a chatbot made it up is malpractice.

I’m no judge, but I know that lying to the court usually costs you the case and your license. Until AI learns the difference between a legal precedent and a fairy tale, we still need humans in suits.

The Consultant’s Dilemma

It’s the same story for consultants. If you build a strategy on hallucinated data, you aren’t a visionary; you’re a liability.

Bad research loses clients money. That simple fact is going to force a hard pivot back to human verification.

Here’s the Play

It looks bleak if you only read the headlines, but remember basic physics. Every action has an opposite reaction. We’re breaking old systems, sure, but that mess is creating a hell of a lot of new work for the people smart enough to clean it up.
