🔄 AI Is Not Replacing Jobs, It’s Replacing Transitions
The loudest fear around AI has always been job loss. But the quieter, more accurate shift is happening somewhere else. AI is not removing work, it is removing the space between work, and that is changing how roles feel, how value is created, and how people experience their day. ------------- Context ------------- Most modern jobs are not made up of one continuous task. They are made up of transitions. Moving from a meeting to notes. From notes to action items. From action items to follow-ups. From information to decisions. From one system to another. For years, these transitions have been the invisible glue of work. They are rarely written into job descriptions, but they consume enormous time and cognitive energy. People become the connectors, translators, reminders, and memory holders that keep organizations moving. AI is now stepping directly into those gaps. It summarizes conversations, drafts follow-ups, organizes tasks, routes requests, and preserves context across tools. The work still exists, but the friction between steps is shrinking fast. That is why this shift feels unsettling. When transitions disappear, the shape of work changes. And when the shape of work changes, identity and value can feel suddenly unclear. ------------- Why Transitions Have Always Carried Hidden Value ------------- Transitions may look like overhead, but they have always been where judgment lives. Deciding what matters from a meeting. Interpreting tone in a message. Knowing who needs to be looped in. Choosing when to escalate and when to wait. These are not mechanical steps. They are human sensemaking. Because this work is informal, it often goes unrecognized. It sits between roles. It rewards experience more than expertise. And it creates a sense of indispensability for the people who quietly manage it well. When AI absorbs parts of this transition work, it can feel like value is being taken away. But what is actually happening is exposure. The work was always there. It just was never named.

I agree with your diagnosis. I recently wrote a book on the topic, though I use a chemistry metaphor to describe what you’re describing. I see AI not just as a tool, but as a 'universal solvent' that dissolves the solid block of our jobs. What you identify as the 'glue' of transitions, I see as the chemical bonds holding a role together. As those bonds dissolve, we are left with a solution of two distinct elements: Silicon (AI-ready tasks) and Carbon (Human Responsibilities). AI is great for automating drudgery, but it cannot empathize, exercise moral judgment, or provide true strategic intent. It simulates capabilities but lacks the human accountability that matters most. It requires careful orchestration and validation of outputs to ensure they align with our desired outcomes. The jobs of the future will become concentrations of Carbon Responsibilities and will be held by people skilled at orchestrating and validating AI. Companies that recognize that AI cannot truly replace humans will avoid the lure of quick cost savings and choose to augment their employees to capture the opportunity that augmentation presents. Seeing this separation is the critical first step. Once you understand the problem, you have a shot at fixing it. That is the core of the D.I.S.T. framework I propose; it’s a method for taking those dissolved elements and actively redesigning your work so you don't just lose the glue, you build a better structure. In other words, it's a way to learn to leverage AI as a tool to augment your work by applying the solvent intentionally instead of allowing your job to naturally melt away.

@Salim Jacuru Anseri, on Agentic AI, I agree with most of what you said. The part you are 100% correct on is the potential impact on jobs. When business leaders think this, they are tempted to lay off thousands to achieve immediate savings on quarterly results. The misconception is that AI Agents should be truly autonomous. The truth is that to set up workflows that yield results aligned with human goals, great care is required, not to mention validating the outputs to ensure they align with those goals. So many podcasts, news stories, and AI salespeople describe Agentic AI as a magic wand. It's not. People must still be in the loop, or they can quickly cause reputational and financial damage as fast as they are assumed to be able to solve problems. What many business leaders miss, is that when implementing automation that works, instead of downsizing the team, use that added capacity to grow the business. This would let’s them keep the people, automate what can be, and free up human time for doing more business.
Hello from Austria
Hi everyone, I’m Bettina and I work in real estate in Salzburg, Austria—currently with an agency, and I’m preparing to go independent. I’m already dabbling with AI, mainly using ChatGPT to write property exposés, support valuations, and even do virtual staging for vacant apartments. One area where I’d love AI to help even more is productivity and automation—especially integrating it into my daily acquisition workflow, like smarter outreach, follow-ups, and more automated email responses. I joined this community to learn practical tools and proven workflows I can plug into my day-to-day sales and acquisition work.

Automation is one of the major draws for AI, but one word of warning. AI is very good at automating repetitive, mechanical tasks, but it lacks built-in judgment. The most important skill to learn is validating its outputs to ensure they align with your goals. Nothing is more embarrassing (or destructive for reputation) than AI running amok, emailing, and posting on social media, all on your behalf. So, as you set up automations, keep yourself in the loop. Build review steps where you click send. Learn its capabilities through observation. Then, as you begin to trust it, give it more room to maneuver.

@Thomas Davis Thanks. I'm not a Shopify user, so no.
Claude is Officially Better Than ChatGPT & More AI News You Can Use
In this video, I break down the week's happenings in AI including Clawdbot (Moltbot), a ton of new upgrades to the Claude ecosystem, new techniques and workflows people are using to create short films with AI, and more. Enjoy!

As of 1/31/2026, it's now named OpenClaw, the best name so far. Hope he can stick with it. Quick tip: when naming something, try running a deep research (I prefer Gemini Pro) to explore potential conflicts. Then run another to fact-check the result. As a probabilistic system, AI calculates answers; it doesn't look them up. So for important things like coining terms, fact-check the fact check. Quick note on OpenClaw. This is an example of how dangerous AI can be in the wrong hands, kidding, not kidding. If not properly set up AND monitored, any automation (AI or otherwise) can run amok. Interesting project. I suspect cybersecurity and AI safety may use it to test their work; it's like letting a Tasmanian devil loose in the Sydney Opera House.

@Karin Crawford By "happening" do you mean keeping people engaged? It looks like there are a lot of people here (71K), but it also sounds like it was once more active. I just stumbled on it.
Hi everyone
I’m using ChatGPT regularly across different areas — learning, thinking through ideas, writing, planning, and problem-solving — but I feel like I’m still interacting with it at a surface level. I’m realizing that the quality of the output depends heavily on how well I direct the AI, not just what I ask. My question is:How do you personally “think about” and structure your prompts when using ChatGPT so it becomes a consistent thinking partner — not just a tool that gives generic answers? Are there any mental models, prompt structures, or habits you’ve developed that significantly improved the usefulness and depth of ChatGPT across everything you do? I’d love to learn how others are approaching this more intentionally. Thanks in advance!

To get past surface-level answers, shift your mental model from issuing a command to briefing a colleague. First, build context. Don't dump the request immediately; prime the dialogue so the AI understands the why before the what. When you make the specific request, use the 5-part model: - Role: Set the lens (e.g., "Act as a workflow innovation consultant"). - Context: Provide background. - Task: Be explicit—do you want analysis, options, or a design? - Format: Define the structure (table, markdown). - Constraints: Telling it what not to do is often as important as telling it what to do. Finally, keep it professional. It might feel odd—like thanking a toaster—but studies show polite, respectful prompts can improve performance on complex reasoning by up to 115%. More importantly, practicing dominance on a machine risks normalizing bad habits for your human interactions.
