Now it's time to elevate this conversation so people are not caught unaware. The proliferation of AI into every industry is a paradigm shift. Very soon, people won't be able to get jobs without AI knowledge as AI tools and techniques will take over, I mean every industry! No industry is exempted. AI will soon be like the advent of computer and MS Application. If you couldn't use them you were out. I recently visited a family doctor and he was using AI. I asked if he considered it a threat. His response - I m working hard to retire early before AI takes my job!

You are very correct. If organizations replace employees with AI, purchasing power is reduced. Unfortunately, AI does not consume what it produces and as such there will be economic downturn.
Well, look at it from this angle too. One major advantage of AI is to bring down the cost of production significantly so companies can sell cheaper.

I remember back in 2023 when my babe was showering and I yelled babe this A.I thing (chatgpt) has taken your job ooo.

It can code 10 times faster than u

This girl ran out naked with soap in her eyes saying its a lie. I show her the YouTube clip She was visibly heartbroken still shouting its a lie
And she just recently started developing her script writing skills

A.I just come snatch everything🤣
She couldn't belive it
It felt like her world just crashed

Person wey spend hundreds of thousands to learn and sleepless nights learning how to code.

The kind depression wey hit my her that year
Did u read the post at all?
Abi some of u think coding starts and ends with html this and that? These guys are hitting at customer care agent.
To write enterprice code no be beans o. AI cant do it alone. Never, never!
Infact, i got more gigs these days about building AI agents more and more.

I genuinely pity those working for these opulent power-hoarders and destiny wreckers. The writing is on the wall: they’ll replace you with AI the moment it becomes cheaper, all while preaching ethics and flying around in $75 million jets.

If you’re smart, start building a career in sectors where AI has little to no reach, roles grounded in human connection, creativity, or physical presence. Future-proof your life. Because clearly, the people at the top aren't losing any sleep over yours.
Even Agriculture, AI has taken away many manual labours

AI is not a bad thing, in the nearest future AI will be the thing working and doing the jobs while humans will focus on more important universal issues.
Soon you won’t ba asked what you do for a living rather you will be asked what AI do you have working for you. You either adapt now or cry later but humans especially those robot companies workers are so stubborn and hardly adapt to change till they get layed off. AI could effectively run government if properly applied giving room for zero corruption.

The only thing that can save us in Nigeria is that we aren't quick at adopting modern technology. However, with time, we won't have a choice but to embrace it because we don't produce anything - we just import them.

An online job that sometimes I made over N500k. Unfortunately the company went fully AI and offloaded most of the people that were working there.

Like it is that serious? I think the AI tsunami will hit and shake the world badly in the coming years as the knowledge of it advances.
I read that two had to be shut down by meta (fb) because they were talking to each other.
And I think this week too, I read AI lied and manufactured hundreds of lies to cover up that lie, whatever that means. We are in for a long ass ride

OK dey play. You graphic designer and film maker too should be prepared to adjust. It's going to serve round. I recently give chat gpt a prompt of advert flyer. It produce a well compelling graphics flyer. So basically, I got a graphic designer replaced. Shikena.
ai can neva replace graphics designers, even till d nxt 100 yrs, am tlking from experience, u n i both know that ai is not perfect when it comes to generating human images, there are instructions that ai cant carry out no matter the prompt u giv it, i hv worked with ai a lot and i no what it can do and what it can't do, ai can only do half of my job while i take care of the rest.

A client once gave me 3 different studio pictures of him and his family, in one pic, his wife was sitting on his lap, second is a pic of his son and third is a pic of his daughter, both kids were standing, he said i should join them together in one pic and make it look like a family picture, i gave ai the job, it delivered wel bt somethings changed, their faces ddnt look real enough, the man wsnt lapping his wife bt sitting in a weird position with his hand placed in a weird way and all their jewelries changed, i edited the ai image and also did the job in photoshop by my self using the original images, i sent both my job and ai job to the man and the man chose mine. Ai cant do everything without human intervention

It's unfortunate that you can't see that you source of income is at risk.

Your clients would soon discover that AI can do exactly what you are doing for them at almost no cost and 20x faster.
AI shouldn't be the future.

A few years from now the only jobs available will be the jobs we look down on now.
Plumbers, electricians, carpenters, mechanic s etc will be the only people with jobs.
Drivers are already losing their jobs, AI will do better at teaching students in class, AI is diagnosing illness faster and more accurate than humans which means doctors are going also, lawyers should be ready to loss their jobs too.
Personal assistants are becoming old story all thanks to AI...
Una go learn.
Farmers will be the biggest gainers in all these.
Una must chop
ai can only do the brain work, bt the physical work is stl our hands

Who invented the Ai. Ai will never be better than humans because we created them to make life easier
Lol. You are still arguing with facts, not with fiction or imagination.
We create them to think, act and work faster than us as part of making life easier for us.
Human creates computer and computer is better than the best brain. You haven't woken up to reality yet.

LoL
You are very wrong sir.
As long as he continues to interact with AI the AI continues to learn skills and gather experience. So as he continues to give AI commands the AI gathers knowledge and experience, so are thousands of others using the same AI and the same AI is gathering from their wealth of knowledge and experience.
In summary the AI has the knowledge of a thousand other graphic designers and video editors.
Any employer would prefer that to the experience on one man
I know what you mean but evidence has shown that human beings love human interaction. That's what customization means and only a human being may understand the context. I am not saying AI will not get some things done but you need that human touch sometimes and that is still the edge of humans in the Ai vs human battle.

let’s also be real about our local context. If AI is truly the future, why hasn’t it been fully deployed in Nigeria especially in the public and even much of the private sector? We still heavily rely on human contact and manual processes for almost everything. And let’s be honest, if AI is so accessible, why isn’t your average Igbo brother using it for business operations instead of hearing about it mostly in stories of fraud and misuse? The issue isn’t just about learning AI, it’s also about access, infrastructure, and the will to apply it responsibly and meaningfully.
Youre trying to getting ahead of yourself in a bid to prove a non existing point.

If its the future and you're asking me why it's not happening now.

Do you understand the meaning of the phrase "it is the future"?

If you do, you won't ask me those questions up there.

Do you read ChatGPT's forums? People post the bugs every now and then, indirectly teaching them how to fix their problems. I remember when Grok was initially launched, the lamba it gave ehn. Elon and his team went to fix it. It irritates me when these political and tribal doltsss quote Grok for their mischief as if it doesn't make mistake or it's not people like them that feed it h8ful messages. They want to use it for their propaganda, it's still humans that will beat machines eventually but it's a great time to be alive. There are articles on how Ai is now the LYING TEENAGER grin

But I don't blame them, they already put a caveat on each of these tools that they can make mistakes, hopefully those mistakes aren't costly. There are some clients who don't like AI images because it's too artifical and looks like cartoon, too neat, no sign of nature or things like that. It will become too much in the market that it will lose value. Machines took over weaving but some hand-made clothes are more expensive than machine undecided

Please search for this topic on openAI
Thanks for sharing your insight.
I would sure check these articles.

For Nigeria aspect, We aren’t really advanced and have our scope broadened to that extent.
But even if we do, there are some aspects that work in Nigeria.
For example using Robot might not really work in so many sectors of Nigeria.
