AI replacing jobs is already happening, but Tony Chapman says the mechanism is not what most people think. It is not that AI arrived and took over. It is that most people handed it the wheel and called that productivity. The difference between those two things is the difference between being extraordinary and being unnecessary.

Sora shut down this week. Disney pulled a billion dollars out of a deal to use it for animation. The technology could produce content cheaply and endlessly. What it could not do was understand what made the story matter in the first place. Every resume written by AI starts looking like the buffet at a Mandarin restaurant, Tony Chapman says. Two hundred options that all taste the same.

Only 5 percent of people will use AI as a conductor, he says. The other 95 percent will use it to do the work they were already doing, and then wonder where the work went.
