the more I learn about AI, the more secure my job feels

Last week, a prospect told me about an internal tool she cottage-coded for her team using AI. It was pretty cool - and yet! She hasn't rolled it out to her team yet. She wants to tweak it more - something only she can do with her expertise.

OOooh that makes me squeal with joy and relief.

The more I learn about AI, the more confident I feel about my own job security.

That's because using AI is like hiring a junior assistant. Its not a magic machine that's smarter than you.

You still have to train it vigorously, feed it a ton of documentation, and check its work regularly. Skip any of those steps and you get expensive, confident garbage.

I'm noticing more and more, clients submitting AI-written docs to me that I have to send straight back because the content is just complicated, unusable, AI slop.

I'm pretty over the AI-written marketing content that all sounds the same and is boring.

I'm watching companies lay off whole teams and then have to rehire them once the tokens get too expensive while the output gets worse.

AI is a tool. Tools are only as good as the hands holding them.

If your underlying process is broken, AI just automates the broken part faster, with more confidence.

You still need someone who knows what good looks like before the automation ever touches it and can double check the work before it goes out.

If you are an expert in your field, I do not see AI coming for your job anytime soon.

This is why the first phase of my work is ALWAYS a series of deep and strategic process mapping sessions.

We outline the processes for the systems we are building first, before deciding on any tools, automations, or AI.

If you are becoming besties with Claude right now and want to wrap AI into the behind the scenes of your business in an intentional and sustainable way, this is a big part of the work I do.

I have ONE !count it, ONE! more spots left this year, and it can be yours.
