AI Isn’t Coming — It’s Here

AI has quietly integrated itself into every aspect of our daily lives, from email filtering to predictive text to resume scanning, and it's not waiting for anyone's permission to advance. The real shift isn't about mastering AI tools but reimagining our professional identity as we move from seeing AI as a threat to treating it as a collaborative partner.

• The "three D's" of AI reaction: denial (it can't do what I do), dread (it's coming for my job), and delegation (let's collaborate)
• AI won't erase your value unless your value is rooted in tasks a machine can already do faster
• The winners won't be those who resist AI or obsess over features, but those who use it to free up time for uniquely human work
• "AI won't replace you, but someone who knows how to use AI better than you just might"
• Practical AI hack: Use ChatGPT to write your "thinking draft" for emails, proposals, or summaries
• Let AI handle the first pass on dreaded tasks, then shape the result in your own voice

Try one thing this week: Pick a task you usually dread and ask ChatGPT to take the first pass, then edit it to match your voice. It's not cheating—it's collaborating.
