The Harsh Truth About AI, Automation, and “I Quit My 250K Job” by Influencers

Let’s be honest, the tech world isn’t the same anymore.
Automation and AI are rewriting the script faster than anyone expected. What used to take a team of ten engineers now takes less professionals and a few lines of smart code.

We’re in a new era where AI doesn’t just assist: it replaces entry level in tech roles, cut down professionals in repititive tasks.
That’s the uncomfortable truth no one likes to say out loud.

The Rise of Automation

Across IT departments, automation tools are quietly eating away repetitive tasks: server monitoring, deployment, even helpdesk support. What used to be the bread and butter of junior roles is now handled by systems that never sleep, never complain, and cost a fraction of one salary.

You can feel the shift. Job titles that were safe five years ago are now on the “maybe next round of layoffs” list. AI has made companies efficient… however, that efficiency has a human cost.

Then There’s AI; The Game-Changer and The Job Killer

Let’s not sugarcoat it: AI is cutting down the workforce.
Not because people aren’t skilled, but because companies can do more with less.

Copywriters, designers, data analysts, even programmers; everyone is suddenly competing with algorithms that learn faster, deliver instantly, and don’t need lunch breaks.

And when the layoffs come, the internet fills up with posts like:

“I quit my $250K job to start my own business.”

Did they quit? Maybe.
But in most cases, they were replaced or laid off (then rebranded their story).

What’s Really Happening

We’re witnessing a quiet restructuring of the global tech workforce.
AI isn’t destroying jobs completely; it’s reshaping them.

The people who survive this shift won’t be the ones who complain about automation; they’ll be the ones who learn how to automate themselves out of the repetitive stuff.

The truth is, the future of work isn’t about fighting AI.
It’s about learning to use it better than the next person.
