I used to hand write all my invoices but now an AI tool does it in 30 seconds flat.

I switched six months ago after a friend in Chicago said his accounting bot saved him 15 hours a week, and now I'm worried my bookkeeping skills are becoming totally useless.

Honestly, it's just a tool, not a takeover.

Does it really count as an upgrade when the whole point of learning to draw circles was to have that skill in your hands, not in a text box? I feel like davidkim is missing that a lot of people actually ENJOYED the process of getting good at things, not just the end result. I know a few illustrators who are really frustrated because they spent years learning composition and color theory, and now they're just supposed to be happy handling a tool that can't even tell a good composition from a bad one. It's like telling a chef their knife skills are upgraded because they can now order takeout.

Your skills aren't useless, they just got upgraded to managing the tool.

Tell that to the guy who spent ten years learning to draw perfect circles by hand, @davidkim. Now some AI does it in a second and his "upgraded skill" is just typing "draw a circle" and then arguing with the computer when it gives him a hexagon. Managing the tool feels like being promoted to full-time button pusher, lmao.
