AI Isn’t Quiet. We Just Stopped Listening.

People in the media say “AI is quietly moving into our day-to-day lives.”

But I really don't think that's accurate... As an observation, it seems like it’s not quietly moving. It’s sprinting with a view to soon change everything!!!

We now use AI to write emails, plan our lives, design, search online, sell things and even think. AI is in a boom phase fueled by who can get to finish line first as we know there will only be one mainstream super AI brand winner - just look at Googles domination of search, Amazon domination of FMCG, or Apples domination of mobile, because we have history of how this will play out based on the .com boom this 'techbro' billionaire rush is not subtle. It’s not silent. It’s everywhere.

So why as some people not event aware or haven't even used AI yet?

Took a few days off from the Internet and realized that normal people don’t even know or care about AI.

AI “productivity” as we know it:

• A chatbot that writes your reports.

• An algorithm that interviews job candidates.

• A design tool that creates a full brand identity in 10 seconds.

• A personal assistant that sorts your day while you sip coffee.

Just smooth UX and friendly copywriting. How many times have you recommended it to someone because it simplified or enhanced a part of your role or life?

Some people I know do question it, but online when a AI CEO's talk everyone seems to embrace it even though the interviewer or news reporter must be thinking my job is at risk and my kids who are at school, collage and Uni are really at risk???

Sure, we're not being invaded by UFO's but make no mistake, we’re collaborating with an invader and I really hope it doesn't end up being Terminator coming true!

Daily, I'm watching the job market evolve in real-time. Creativity is getting streamlined, commodified, auto-generated. But we’re not fighting it. We're reposting it. Sharing it. Monetising it. Calling it progress, but I don't call someone calling me in panic for their livelihood progress. I now can spot a LinkedIn AI generated post a mile away... Lazy content anyone. 

We’ve labelled the noise innovation or opportunity. But what's the real story? Tractors displaced farmers. Robots displaced the factory workers and now will AI displace the office worker? How many people does it take to change a light bulb or run a small army of sentient godlike robo agents who are powered on nuclear superconductors?

🛑 So what is being optimised out of us? Creativity, critical thinking, original thought, being human? Maybe all of these? I don't see the fun in reading or watching bots talking to bots....do you?🤖🤖🤖🤖
