AI has been a real boon for corporations trying to step up their careers, as now they can work on projects that they know nothing about. This means aditional responsibilities and hence results in new career opportunities.

This was a shocker, because now many Data Analysts these days are working as Business Process Automators. Some people have transitioned from a low-paying HR job to jacked software development roles.

I have seen people developing software, simple Excel automation, and even complicated Apps Script codes using AI, and that too faster than a software developer, because a software developer usually takes time to write, and an AI just needs a correct prompt to generate the same code within seconds.

Several corporate firms have also developed their own AI systems that behave similarly to ChatGPT or Claude, which enables their employees to leverage their basic skills to work on harder projects.

I have recently also observed more software engineers searching for jobs, and that is because the expert ones don't work on simple automation, while the basic ones' work can be done by anyone in the company these days.

You don't need to hire a software developer to update your website; a fresher graduate can give prompts to AI Agents and keep your website updated for less than half the salary of a mid-level software engineer.

Motivated enough, and he can even write complex code or edit new software without prior knowledge.

1. Prompt Engineering is the New Niche

These days, people are moving towards Prompt Engineering and upgrading their prompting skills to excel in their corporate lives.

This is because proper prompts can not only help with generating codes, but can also help in improving overall business communication without the end user knowing, which usually results in being in the good books of your clients and boss.

New Generation, especially people who were born after 2015, have already adapted to AI and are basically dependent on its extreme usage.

2. Issues of using too much AI

Although it makes sense to use AI to complete your tasks, an over-dependency is not a good thing on the same. I have seen people making decisions by asking questions to AI Bots, and decisions that may have an effect on their whole life, like career, marriage, legal issues, etc.

These days, people have become incapable of making decisions when time demands. They are delusional and scared to make decisions without checking their phones.

Plus, when you get the whole world's knowledge in one place, you stop the process of learning. It's not about memorising, but the practice part that gets missed.

At the end, I would also like to mention the fact that AI is not absolutely accurate. Taking medicines, decisions, or important actions based on what AI has suggested can be dangerous and at least not so much productive for your personal growth and motivation.

Use AI, but for things that might not have a direct effect on your confidence and personality, or if it has, then a positive one.
