The Takeaway: AI Isn’t Taking Over — It’s Just Joining the Team
AI isn’t here to replace everyone — it’s here to remind us what being human actually means.
The creativity, empathy, and humor that show up in workplaces every day can’t be programmed (at least not yet).
So yes, AI can write code, answer emails, and maybe even write this blog — but only humans can laugh about it over coffee at 10:00 a.m. on a Monday.
