“Just put it in ChatGPT” — That phrase cost her career**
Annabel Beales, a UK-based copywriter, loved her dream job at a garden centre.

But one day what she heard in a meeting changed everything: “Just put it in ChatGPT.”

Within six weeks, her role was gone — not because she underperformed, but because AI could deliver “good enough” content at scale.

She spent months job-hunting before taking a temp admin role — heartbreaking but revealing.

Takeaway: If you're not upgrading your human edge — empathy, storytelling, strategic thinking — you risk being replaced by tech.

Tools Can’t Save You — Human Skills Will

AI can write, schedule, and automate, but it can’t lead with empathy, make ethical choices, or build inclusive cultures.

Those who evolve will thrive alongside AI, not be replaced by it.

Prepare to upgrade your mindset — because the real edge isn’t in tools, it’s in people.
