I have seen many people being scared of Ai and it stealing their jobs etc.

Here's my take and why you shouldn't be afraid:

Legal problems/Moral problems(People hating Ai because it steals):
Ai is currently fighting legal battles against copyrights and lawsuits, and if it losses, with a very high chance that it can lose it will be very much restricted in where it can scrape from. In years bloggers and website owners will probably start blocking Ai bots from scraping content from their sites, making Ai much less likely to give valuable and good responses; this is a double-edged sword.

Do you really think Ai will replace Search Engines/And that Google won't be able to detect Ai, even if it does, why do you think you can't get traffic through social media, advertising, forums, and other ways?
People who think that Google or any other search engine that invests billions in their algorithms can't detect Ai generated content/Or won't be able to detect ai generated content very soon are wrong, heck even some dumb ai detectors that cost 50k- max 1m$ can detect it very easily I don't understand how people except google not to be able to. Google won't favor Ai content, the most that this feature will go to is have an ai chat along search engine that I think most people won't even use, as you can ask it "how to make money" but what will that chat respond? Everyone was making a big fuss about meta verse as well, and Facebook investing a bunch of cash in it, but where is it now? It completely went dead, just like NFTs. This is more along with Google being scared of what effect the ChatGPT will bring to bing even though there are small chances it will affect anything. Even if something pops out from Meta Verse, I don't see it doing so in the next 10 years, the same as ai. What's most important is you scale your income and have 3-5 steady income sources that can secure you, also, don't have all your cash flowing out from online stuff try having some offline stuff as well.

My recommendations on what Ai probably can't replace/won't replace any time soon:
YouTubers/Youtube Videos: Be it entertainment, tutorials, vlogs, or so on, I think Ai can't replace it, and Google won't allow it anyway.
Entertainment: Be it a funny meme page on Instagram/or being a streamer on twitch, I think entertainment can't be replaced.
Affiliate Marketing: You will need just common logic why i think Ai can't replace this.
Mail Marketing: I think anytime soon Mail marketing can't be replaced.
Influencer: Trying to become popular is a good thing as well, be it 10k or 100k followers on some social network can do the job, but always strive to have more.
Any sort of advertising: As in advertising, you mostly advertise to sell (Be it drop shipping/affiliate marketing or anything else), the reason being is that there will always be advertisements. That's just how the economy goes you just ned to always adapt to new advertising styles, and you can profit from advertising.
There are many other things that won't be replaced, and even things that you think will be replaced like (Content writers, Artists, Photo designers etc.) you are probably wrong, as they will adapt as well and content writers might even be paid more in future than now (As many leave the business and there might be a need of content writers in future it might become higher paying job as Ai will never be 100% accurate, at least i don't see it 100% accurate in next 5-10 years 100%).
Offline stuff that you can invest in:
Owning land/apartments, houses or anything of the sort is great, running a shop is great, especially something that people will always need like a food store (No one can survive without food). Running a gym is great (Low maintenance cost, high return and good passive income). If you don't have enough cash to do so, you can try buying stuff on second hand markets and reselling (One trick that i do is i search for offers where people urgently need money or are selling because they bought wrong, they just don't need it anymore and want to sell it fast)
 
Honestly you are not wrong but neither right. Not here to debate but rather to drop my 0.2 cents..

0.2 - It really doesn't matter what we want or need, hell, or even what we think. They'll always go for the most profitable for themselves.

Not afraid but rather learn to live with it and profit of it.
 
Google just announced a week ago how they don´t care if content is produced with AI as long as it satisfies the users intention
crucial point in search engine marketing in the first place.
 
Chinese got their own AI now
So did google
despite the legal battles this is gonna be a lot more
google AI did, however, fail during the announcement but it's just a start to who wins the AI race in coming years.
Interesting to watch out how this all unfolds.

controversial it is, much to learn we still have.
 
Google just announced a week ago how they don´t care if content is produced with AI as long as it satisfies the users intention

“Our focus on the quality of content, rather than how content is produced, is a useful guide that has helped us deliver reliable, high quality results to users for years.”

– Danny Sullivan and Chris Nelson of the Google Search Quality team

Do you really think Ai can generate better quality content than what humans write?

“The helpful content system was introduced last year to better ensure those searching get content created primarily for people, rather than for search ranking purposes. … As explained, however content is produced, those seeking success in Google Search should be looking to produce original, high-quality, people-first content demonstrating qualities https://searchengineland.com/google-doubles-up-at-e-with-updated-search-quality-raters-guidelines-e-e-a-t-390343.”
 
Google and Microsoft are too big to die, no lawsuit will do anything.

They showed the world the technology, there is no way back. Sooner or later there will be chatgpt and bard clones, they won't be as effective but they will exist. The job of all writers, photographers and artists is in danger.

But a bigger problem than the unemployment is the political distrust. How do you know that the majority of posts you read on social networks is not made via AI and distributed via a botfarm? Before AI it was kinda obvious which social media account was fake, now not as much. That will lead to people stop caring about the truth, mental illness will skyrocket.

Depends on what you are trying to generate, to me it is really good rephrasing content in a certain way. Extending some pieces of content.

I do always supervise the output and add my own touch, but the outcome is great.

I am talking about business sites, not blogs though
 
I think you're both very wrong and very right on some points.

Right now, people are making a fuss because it's so new and something we haven't seen before. It's not gonna be a job killer right away, but eventually it will, 100%. Maybe not now, but technology moves at an extremely rapid pace, and there's no saying what will happen in the next 2 - 5 years, but it will be far more advanced and capable than it is now.

As far as legal problems, big tech probably set aside a fund to cover that. No one is gonna bankrupt Microsoft or Google. If they lose 1 or 2 billion, that's nothing compared to the many more billions this will make them. Just look at all the FTC fines these companies pay, and how little that was compared to their revenue.

As far as the examples you listed, I've already started seeing AI creep into every single one of these. There's already a ton of tools being built on top of AI that have already made their way into those industries. But like I said, the smart ones will adapt to work with AI and stay alive, while the nay-sayers get pushed out.

Take some time and watch "2 Minute Papers" just to get a glimpse of what researchers have been working on, and you might understand. Creepy but pretty exciting stuff I'm looking forward to seeing.
 
On entertainment side, AI won't change anything, as you said
 
On entertainment side, AI won't change anything, as you said
If a writer loses his job, he will have to find a new one.

He may become an entertainer. That will increase the supply of entertainment while the demand remains the same.

What happened to average looking porn actresses when OF became a trend?

This is what will happen to the average entertainer and the other AI-proof jobs.
 
AI cannot completely replace content writers. There is a difference between content and ideal content. Human touch is needed to enrich content. A content writer can create good content with help from AI. However, to be a consummate content writer, one must have an understanding of AI.
 
Offline stuff that you can invest in:
Owning land/apartments, houses or anything of the sort is great
Completely agree with that.

Being a newcomer to the writing biz, the whole AI debacle made me give up on entry-level jobs and most freelancing gigs. Fortunately for me, there's hope on the horizon in the form of land leasing/renting thanks to some inheritance I'll be able to get in the future.

Till then, Local SEO and Social Media to get by.
