AI Is Creating Jobs FASTER Than It Is Replacing Them.

Every week there is another headline about jobs disappearing because of AI.

It is enough to make people feel uneasy, and in many cases from what I am seeing, getting VERY defensive. But there is a quieter shift happening at the same time, and it is going in the opposite direction.

AI is not struggling to be built anymore. It is struggling to be used. That is the gap where the real opportunity sits.

Most businesses already have access to powerful AI tools. What they do not have is clarity on how to use them. For example, what problems AI should be solving for their business, or how to trust the output enough to rely on it day to day.

So the tools sit there under-utilized...and the teams drift back to doing things the OLD, slow and archaic way.

This is a human problem...it has little to do with the technology itself.

People who can bridge that gap, who can take real-world problems and apply AI in a practical, grounded way, are becoming far more valuable than people who can simply explain how AI technology works.

The Opportunity MOST People Are Missing...

A lot of people think the path forward is learning to code or becoming an AI engineer. For a small group, that makes sense. For most, it doesn't make any sense at all.

The bigger opportunity is not in building AI. It is in translating it for the layperson.

That means understanding what people are already doing, spotting friction, and then showing them how AI can make that work faster, cleaner, or more effective. When you can do that, the technology almost disappears into the background. What people notice is the RESULT.

This is why we are seeing so much demand for roles that sit between the technology and the business. The value is not in complexity. The value is in usefulness.

The AI Opportunity

Why This Should Matter to YOU Right Now?

We are in a moment where ideas matter more than skill alone. AI has levelled the execution side of things. What separates people now is not how fast they can type or how technical they are, but how clearly they can think.

If you can see a problem clearly, AI can help you solve it faster than ever before. But without your proper direction, AI just creates a bunch of noise (and can compound the problem).

This is why so many people feel overwhelmed. They are surrounded by tools that are everywhere, but lack structure.

Irrespective of your niche you are in, there are problems that people are having within that niche. AI can not only help people solve those problems, but it can help you facilitate that process through your knowledge of AI combined with your passion for helping people in that industry.

In our case at Wealthy Affiliate we are using AI and simplifying AI to help solve problems with online business, but this can extend to absolutely any industry.

As time goes on, bigger problems are going to get solved, and more and more people are going to reap the benefits (and revenue) from helping solve these problems.


AI is NOT replacing people who think clearly. It is replacing confusion, friction, and slow execution.

The opportunity is very real, but it belongs to those who stop asking “How does this work?” and start asking “Where does this fit?”

When you understand that shift, you stop chasing the future and start building inside it.

PS. I would love to hear your thoughts on this topic (and share any experiences that you have). Drop your comments below. :)

Personally, I see a lot of opportunities.
I use AI to automate my work, design images (thanks to Image Studio), and help others by providing services, all of which aligns with your article.

We don’t know what the future holds in this area, but I’m taking the opportunity to learn and apply it.

My favorite blog post of the YEAR, Kyle! I'm just particularly happy about these, "A lot of people think the path forward is learning to code or becoming an AI engineer. For a small group, that makes sense. For most, it doesn't make any sense at all." And 'The opportunity is very real, but it belongs to those who stop asking “How does this work?” and start asking “Where does this fit?”'

Much appreciated!

Glad you like this Israel. There is a lot of fear out there, a lot of exaggeration, and a lot of confusion. But at the end of the day, I find people are using AI more than ever, and doing some really cool things.

Sure, OLD jobs may fade, but they will also get done a lot better and faster, and in different ways, and there will be completely new ways to do things. That is what I am excited about, and that is what everyone should be looking forward to.

I'm so excited about the possibilities AI has packaged for us.

Thanks again, Kyle!

Hi Kyle, thanks for posting this, it definitely has sparked a number of different views. No doubt AI is here to stay, how we use it is the key to further success. I use ChatGBT for so many jobs that would take me three or four times longer to complete. Robotocic chat assistants on various websites have caused frustration for me at times. They didn't get my question and gave a lot of wrong answ. On the other hand my Whataccount was hacked at the end of last year. Despite several reinstatement attempts the system kept locking my account out. So, after putting my dilemma to the WhatsApp robotic assistant the issue was solved from that advice. Overall, AI is a time and problem solver that has become necessary especially for people like us in the online world.
All the best Fintan

Morning Kyle
Recently had some colleagues ask about AI, it was enlightening the level of misunderstanding and phobia that surrounds AI.

Personally, learning about AI has simplified my of my business functions and created a world of opportunities, I didn't know was available to me before.

AI will not help me build an online business in ways and direction I hadn't thought of before learning about AI. It is also changing the dynamics in the family business. I see markets where there were none before.

And yes I can see AI generating jobs
Just saying ^_^ Cheers

Dear Kyle, all your post starts with a False assumption: you studied informatic science, you trained your mind to think in structures and in a mathematical way, you are used to deal with softwares to solve problems.

I have studied Italian Literature so my mind was already trained in using words with clarity and intention, and I was lucky enough to work for more than 13 years with One of the most important informatic Company in Italy.

So since I have helped countless people to solve very simple informatic problems, and I know that for the MAJORITY of people, even small technical issues could become a huge problem, I am not surprised at all that most people Simply refuse to learn AI.

Which by the way requires a COSTANT STUDY since what you learn today Will be replaced in Just five minutes tomorrow!

So please let's stop this over celebration of AI, most people Will Simply left behind because the Speed of AI "progress" Is an impossible pacing for EVERY HUMAN BEING.

It's true we can solve problems faster.

But how many problems are caused by misleading informations by AI? So you Need to study It and verify that the informations are true. Too much to ask to a regular Person, not trained to think in a methodic and scientific way.

In a way, I understand your point of view. I also studied computer science and graduated in the field, and I agree that my mind is wired to think and see things in a specific way. My entire professional experience has been in IT, which is why it’s easy for me to digest what’s taught inside WA. For me, it all makes logical sense.

I have acquaintances outside the IT field who have asked me how to use AI to make money online. It’s easy to explain by showing, but much harder in practice, they simply can’t grasp it right away. There’s no blame here. That said, some people genuinely want help and guidance to learn how to use AI, and that’s where the opportunity lies and exactly the point of the article: AI is creating jobs.

I agree that you have to constantly keep yourself up to date, but that’s true for many other areas of life as well.

If you rely 100% on AI to write code for you or do everything for you, it’s probably not the best idea. The thinking still is mine, you know the saying about the brain: use it or lose it.

I’m not speaking for everyone, and I’m not taking sides, but I see a lot of opportunities in using AI. I also know that not everything is for everyone, which is why I’ll never be an astronaut. 😀

Bottom line: there were three industrial revolutions before the one we’re in today. Each came with struggles, resistance, and frustration, but progress moved forward anyway. People adapted, some didn’t embrace the change, but life went on regardless.
