How to Prove AI Can't Replace You

Don't ask if, when, or why AI will replace you, ask how to prove AI can't. In almost every industry, people are fearful of AI taking over jobs and replacing them. Whether it's trucking, customer service, marketing, and more, people just assume they can't stop AI and job displacement, instead they sit on their hands and wonder what jobs will AI replace.

What if I told you with full confidence that every job and worker has their own talents that can never be replaced. What employees simply need to do in order to save their careers is prove they offer a service that AI doesn't.

Shopify CEO Asks Employees to Prove AI Can't Do Their Job

Some may consider it merciful that Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke didn't just fire staffers who's positions were under threat of automation by AI tools. Instead, he gave his employees the opportunity to prove that the services they offered could not be replicated by AI.

In a recent memo published on X, Lutke wrote that employees ought to imagine what their team would look like with autonomous AI agents already part of the company. In that case, why wouldn't one of those agents be able to do your work?

Shopify employees ought to read this guide because the best way to understand what you can do better than AI system, is understanding how AI systems work.

Humanization and AI

One element that humans will always have over AI is simply their humanity. Humans know how to be natural, emotionally intelligent, and innovative in ways AI simply won't be able to match, now or even if artificial general intelligence is developed and human reasoning can be replicated in machines.

Still, undetectable AI services have the power to trick both AI detectors and people with human writing. What they can't do, is navigate feedback using human reasoning to achieve dynamic results.

How you prove the importance of your humanity and emotional intelligence is simply by doing a side by side comparison of your process with AI, highlight the weaknesses in AI's human reasoning and the strengths in yours.

Emotional intelligence and relationship building are huge parts of numerous career paths that AI can't replace. Healthcare for instance, still requires human relationships between doctors and patients. Often times, a medical institution's success hinges on the relationships their experts have created with people in need of care.

Teamwork With AI

Certainly, one thing AI can't replace is dynamically using AI tools. Using AI is a tango between two parties, user and machine. If AI is going to share a team with human workers, those human workers need to know how to write prompts and drive AI systems to their desired results.

Instead of fearing AI replacing jobs, get excited about using AI technology to improve your work. With AI, users can tackle jobs that were once implausible and now achieve 100x the results.

One example is customer service, one should expect the future of working at a convenience store will feature AI charging customers and managing inventory in a frictionless setting, and humans helping customers in way AI can't.

Expanding Your Career

With AI tools giving users the chance to free-up their bandwidth at work, consider expanding your skill set. If you're a copywriter, learn design, SEO, social media, and more. There are numerous skills that work in conjunction together that will make you irreplaceable as an expert in many fields able to generate incredible results once AI tools are in your hands.

Stay ahead of the curve, learn about what technological advancements are coming, research new ways to increase productivity, try not to be surprise by AI's impact.

Conclusion

Future-proofing your career requires taking immediate steps toward the future and not letting statistics about jobs that AI has stolen get you down. Know you worth and increase it by using AI to enhance productivity and make you irreplaceable.

Whatever World Economic Forum plans for AI and the job market are, those who know how to use their humanness as a secret weapon and have mastered AI to get their employer the results they want, won't be replaced by AI.
