I found a weird way to keep my old job when they brought in an AI tool
Honestly, when my company in Austin rolled out that Jasper AI for all our marketing copy last year, I thought I was done for. Tbh, I started feeding it way more specific prompts with our old brand voice guide and past campaign data, and it started spitting out stuff I could actually use. Has anyone else had to basically become an AI whisperer to stay useful?

That's just putting a band-aid on a bullet wound, honestly. You're training the tool that will replace you. I saw this happen at my last job in Phoenix, where the "AI whisperers" were the first to get laid off once the system was fully trained. You're basically writing the guidebook for your own job to be automated. The company sees you as a temporary cost until the AI can run without your help. Feeding it all your old work and brand knowledge just speeds that process up. It's a short-term fix that makes the long-term problem worse for everyone in your role.

My cousin's a graphic designer and they got one of those AI art tools. She spent months fixing its weird, extra-fingered hands, and now her boss just asks the AI for "something like Sarah's style." She's still there, but she's basically a full-time hand repair technician.
