The AI Pyramid Scheme: Why the collapse has already begun.
Hi everyone. Recently, my dad told me that the career I’m dreaming of (filmmaking and sound engineering) will soon be replaced by AI. This got me thinking about a theory of what’s actually ahead.
Think of AI as a massive pyramid being built by tech giants. To save money, they are firing skilled humans and replacing them with algorithms. But here’s the catch: this pyramid is inherently unstable. If these corporations fire their entire workforce and the "AI bubble" eventually bursts (which it will), they’ll be left with absolutely no one who knows how to actually do the work.
Even worse: if an entire generation grows up relying solely on AI, we will lose the fundamental human skills required to create. We’ll become a generation that can't work without a "generate" button. The cracks are already showing—just look at how expensive and unsustainable models like Sora are becoming.
My take? AI should be a tool for humans, not a replacement. Because when the pyramid collapses, only those who still know how to use their own hands and brains will be left standing.
