What you need to know:
You can't open LinkedIn without someone shouting, "AI is taking our jobs!" Proofreaders and copywriters? Carried off on a stretcher. Accountants? Dead and buried by half time. Marketers? Getting the manager sacked come Monday morning. Data entry clerks? Already on the team bus headed back to the airport.
If the World Cup has taught me anything, it's that some of us don't need facts to predict disaster. A striker misses one penalty and suddenly your uncle in the family WhatsApp group is giving football breakdowns like he's been coaching the national team since 1988. "Hekaheka nyingi! Sack the coach! Unaona hayo mambo?! We're finished!” And that's exactly the energy people have about AI right now.

At this point, AI has been hired, promoted, fast-tracked into management, made Employee of the Month, and somehow landed a corner office. No wonder everyone's panicking.
