AI storm: who will survive, who will flow
AI is not a slow storm, it is a storm that is shaking every profession, every office and every screen in the world. The most honest truth of today is this – only those who learn will survive. Only those who stop will be left behind. But the question is still the same:
Who will be swept away first?
1. Jobs that AI will swallow first: AI's first attack is on those jobs where humans work like machines,
Such as (A) Repetitive / Routine Jobs Data Entry KYC Verification Initial Level of Call Center Form Filling Basic Accounting In these tasks, humans only follow the rules and rule-following machines are done faster, cheaper and without getting tired than humans.
(B) Media & Content Jobs This sector has changed the fastest. Low-skill graphics designers, thumbnail creators, basic video editors, script re-writers, short news report creators, AI can create the first draft of their work, and in some cases, the entire work, in seconds.
(C) Entry-Level Roles in the IT Sector The crowded dream of Gen Z — “You will get a job by learning coding.” But AI is rapidly taking over the entry-level. Basic QA Testing Code Debugging Junior Developer Level Tasks Documentation AI now writes 60–70% of the code itself. Man only guides.
(D) Routine Reporting in Journalism The need for humans in journalism will not end — but basic reporting will. Weather Stock Market Sports Scores Press Release Based News Re-writing AI will keep preparing all these tirelessly, without mistake, continuously. 2Jobs that are safe from AI (at least for the next 20 years) AI can understand data, but human emotions, human judgment, and action on the ground are still far beyond its reach.
(A) Human-Touch Professions Doctor Nurse Psychiatrist Teacher Therapist In these professions “human touch” is a skill in itself and AI cannot learn it.
(B) Physical Skill Jobs It's counterintuitive, but true: Blue-collar jobs are more secure than AI. Plumber Electrician Carpenter Mechanic Driver (Complete automation is still far away in India) For these tasks AI will have to learn to walk, hold, bend, lift in the real world which is very difficult.
(C) Creators & Thinkers Investigative Journalists Writers (those who think original) Film Directors Strategists Leaders Entrepreneurs This work demands “guessing + intuition + storytelling”. Machines are weak in front of the human mind here.
3. AI is also creating new jobs. The storm does not just destroy – it also leaves behind new land.New jobs are being created because of AI Prompt Engineering AI Supervisor / Quality Checker AI Ethicist Cybersecurity Roles AI-Assisted Design Data Strategist No-Code App Builders AI does not replace humans, AI upgrades humans. 4. The biggest truth: “The one whose thinking does not change will be the first to lose his job.” AI takes the jobs of people who stop learning. The work which was just copy-paste will be done. The skills that were borrowed will go. People who do not use their thinking will go. But those who learn, understand, take decisions. Those who will use AI as their assistant, will move ahead. AI + Creativity will learn, they will win. Those who stick only to “jobs” will be left out of the syste
