- The AI Tsunami
A few years ago, the longe game started and I thought I was noticing a shift—one that felt small at first but has since become impossible to ignore. AI wasn’t just getting better; it was quietly replacing entire workflows. Now, with OpenAI’s latest ChatGPT mode and Google’s Gemini 2.5, we’re on the edge of a future where creating anything is as simple as speaking or gesturing.
It’s exhilarating. It’s terrifying in a good way. And it’s happening much faster than anyone expected.
A World Without Traditional Apps
Think about the software you use every day: Photoshop for design, WhatsApp for messaging, Amazon for shopping. What if those platforms didn’t exist in the future? Not because they failed, but because they weren’t needed anymore.
Instead, you’d have an AI that builds what you need on the fly:
Need an image edited? No Photoshop—just describe the change, and it happens.
Selling products? No Shopify—AI handles inventory, orders, and customer interactions.
Looking for information? No Google—your AI knows exactly what you need and delivers it instantly.
We won’t need predefined apps anymore. Websites might become obsolete. The interface of the future is fluid, personalized, and built specifically for you in real time.
AI Is Eating the Tech Stack
We should have seen this coming. The moment DALL·E 2 and ChatGPT arrived, the writing was on the wall. But the past few months have been a wake-up call:
Gemini made complex workflows like ComfyUI nearly obsolete overnight.
Advanced AI-powered upscaling tools like Magnific took a massive hit.
Entire categories of software are becoming unnecessary as AI evolves faster than the tools built on top of it.
This isn’t just about innovation—it’s a complete rewrite of how software exists. The winners won’t be the companies with the best AI models. Models become outdated in weeks. The winners will be those who can keep up, controlling the compute power, the datasets, and the infrastructure needed to keep AI advancing.
The End of “Work” as We Know It?
If AI can generate custom interfaces instantly, what happens to work? To jobs? To careers that took decades to build?
Entire professions will be forced to adapt or disappear:
Software development will shift from writing code to orchestrating AI-generated applications.
Marketing will move from running campaigns to training AI to communicate brand messages.
Customer service? Sales? Data entry? AI will handle them better, faster, and cheaper.
This isn't just another technological revolution. It’s a hard reset of how we think about productivity, creativity, and even the definition of “work” itself.
Are You Ready?
I always say we’re heading into a tsunami, but this feels bigger—like a complete system reboot.
The question isn’t whether AI will replace the tools and workflows we rely on today. That’s already happening. The real question is: Will you be ready when everything changes?
Soft skills and innovation will be even more important in the future. Want to learn more? Check out my other newsletter:
