The Quitting Expert: Quit NOW Before AI Makes The Choice For You, This Is a Superpower! | Seth Godin
"Here's my two big ideas. Number one, this is the biggest change in our world since electricity. And number two, either you work for AI or AI works for you."
Seth Godin argues that AI represents a civilisation-scale shift comparable to electrification, and frames a stark choice between being managed by AI-driven systems or using AI as a tool. He says organisations will use AI to strip out “good parts” of work, leaving people as insecure gig labour for what machines cannot yet do.
