Everyone's asking the same question. Most of the answers are either pure doom or pure dismissal. Neither one is actually helpful. So I went through the honest version — the historical arc of every major job disruption, what the people who survived them had in common, and what it actually looks like to adapt right now. The frame that changed how I think about it: you are no longer the engine. You are the captain. The engine is faster and cheaper than you at processing, drafting, sorting, summarizing. The captain decides where to go, what's worth doing, and when the output is good enough. Your judgment, your taste, your thirty years of knowing when something is right — those are not replicable. No doom. No hype. Just the honest answer.
