I think you mean people with hard skills, not soft skills, should be scared. And yes - in white collared jobs.
People that will benefit from AI:
- you own a business (cheaper/less/augmented/more productive staff)
-you’re intelligent (20 finance guys/accountants/sdes work at your office. 10 are fired because AI can make the 10 smartest work twice as efficiently. Additionally, those that are better able to think abstractly will likely have a job that requires more high level thinking / strategy (exp. Lawyer/engineer) and the dummies with cog in the system bookkeeping, number crunching jobs will be hooped.
- you’re creative
- you have people skills. AI is or potentially will be far better than us at say quickly doing the best tax return with input or writing a bazillion lines of code but it’s not going to convince a high value client to join your law firm or ad agency. Salesmen rejoice.
So yeah - like a lot of technological advances this will be yet another transfer of wealth from the poor and dumb to the rich and smart.
And likely bill or unknown effects for tradesmen. So if you are dumb whitecollar or in the lower say 50-75th percentile of your whitecollar job (accountant, SDE, finance etc) might be time to go to trades school.
Jamin probably a great example.
You're mostly right... except the third bullet point.
AI is already better at creativity than humans... AI can observe artwork, replicate the style, so that we can do away with the 'artists'. The other night I was listening to a podcast about visual art, and one artist was claiming that AI was 'stealing' her work by replicating her style. She has no real legal recourse, but was a calling for regulation to 'do something about this.' Surreal. Reminds me of Trump supporters calling on Trump to 'build that wall' to protect their jobs.
So creativity is purely mimicking what already exists? Interesting.
I can understand concerns about AI impacting soft skills, but in my experience, it's quite the opposite. AI, like ChatGPT, can actually improve communication. While it handles routine tasks, I find more time to focus on honing my soft skills. A custom ChatGPT AI assistant, like the one from KindGeek

, has streamlined my workflow without diminishing the human touch. It's a supportive tool that complements my abilities rather than replacing them. Instead of causing anger, I believe AI can ease many business processes, allowing us to elevate our soft skills to new heights.
