"Why shouldn't artificial intelligence replace you?"
Yesterday I met my friend after 2 years, and of course, after such a long time, we had a lot to talk about.
I was excitedly talking about technology and what AI can do, since he is not primarily from a tech background.
Suddenly, he surprised me with one question: (He got me.) 😅
"Tell me, why shouldn't AI replace you?"
And it's really hard to answer this, because AI is starting to be much better at tech/online things than the majority of the population.
What would your answer be?
Imagine this as a test, that your employer or customer asks this. – What argument would you use to convince him that you are better than AI?

Ahaha.. Great question! I would say..
"If AI replaced me, who'd send you those ridiculous memes at 3 AM? Or annoy you with terrible puns? Sure, it might be 100x more efficient... but can an AI roast you with just the right amount of sarcasm? Didn't think so. 😏"
(Also, my caffeine addiction and questionable life choices add character to the workplace. ChatGPT can't replicate that chaos.)

@rani_zagita Valid answer, the thing is that AI will do this when you set it up for such activities. But yeah, punching people is more offline activity than online :D

AI’s great at analyzing data, but it can’t match the creativity that humans bring. Because what AI learns from is human's previous records of their behaviors, which means that AI can only duplicate human and perform within the existing scale. But developers obviously cannot always stay inside of the circle, and that's why they cannot be replaced.

@pulin_yuuu yep, but I suppose that those humans' records of behaviour, only repeat and repetitive things, can be replaced over time.

Such a real question, Nika and honestly, one I’ve been asked too.
If I had to answer this in front of a client or employer, I’d say: AI can generate, but it doesn’t genuinely relate.
In my work, especially around content and product positioning, what makes it work is not just the information it's intuition. I often rely on subtle human cues: the way a user reacts to a headline, how a founder phrases their product vision, or the emotion behind why something didn’t convert.
AI can draft 100 versions, but choosing the right one the one that feels timely, aligned, and context-aware that still needs a human who's been in the trenches, made the mistakes, seen the patterns.
I don’t compete with AI I collaborate with it. But I stay irreplaceable by being the bridge between what tech can do and what people actually care about.
That’s my edge and so far, clients see it too.

@priyanka_gosai1 Hopefully, more people will be allowed to collab with AI :) and not be replaced.

@immanuel_rajadurai But sometimes student outgrows teacher :D

I'd just say "well, I'm human", and as some of you guys were saying it's rather about complementing each other and bringing skills to help solve problems creatively, and I'm very optimistic that it's highly unlikely for AI to "replace" us humans. There are so much things about life that AI is still missing on! But we can definitely combine our skills to shape the future.

@manuelzarroca True – I am just afraid of that AI will learch so much and so fast to replace us completely one day :D
