If You're Not Using AI Yet, You'll Be Unemployed Soon (I Learned This While Scrolling Reels)

Let me say something uncomfortable up front, and then I'll prove it with a story:

If you build things for the internet and you're still not using AI to do it — you're going to be in trouble. Not "someday." Soon.

I didn't believe this either. Then I watched an AI do two days of my work in 40 minutes while I lay in bed scrolling reels. Let me explain.

The extension that humbled me

I build a little Chrome extension called Intro Skipper. Exactly what it sounds like — it auto-skips the intros on Netflix, Hotstar/JioHotstar, and Crunchyroll so you never have to reach over and hit "Skip Intro" again. (It started as a dumb late-night idea between two lazy friends, but that's a story for another post.) Today, 350+ people use it every day.
