Three career types I've seen survive AI (guess which wins)

Been working across different industries for 15+ years. Seeing some clear patterns emerge as automation hits various sectors.

Here's what I'm observing:

• Hands-only workers get displaced first (pure execution roles) • Hands + brain workers adapt but struggle to differentiate • Hands + brain + heart workers actually thrive and become more valuable. 

Real example: My colleague Sabrine got her “volume” graphic design automated by ChatGPT & the like during September-Dec 2024. Instead of panicking, she repositioned herself as an "AI-human strategist." Now she charges 3x more because she takes AI output and adds the human insight clients actually want, as a freelancer – for Quality design (not volume).

The breakthrough isn't fighting the robots. It's realizing they handle the boring stuff so you can focus on what makes you uniquely human.

Start here: Pick one task AI could theoretically do for you. Learn to use it as your research assistant, then add your human interpretation on top.

The people freaking out about replacement are missing the real opportunity - becoming irreplaceable through the combination of efficiency + empathy.

What's one thing you do in your job that requires genuine human judgment? How are you amplifying that while letting AI handle the grunt work?
