How AI can't replace you (and how to make sure it doesn't)

How AI can't replace you (and how to make sure it doesn't)

Not a lot of people are saying this right now: AI can’t replace you.

Not now. Not fully. Not ever.

That said… it’s not quite that simple.

Every day, I find myself asking: How can a business future-proof itself in the age of AI? And I’m building a running list.

Because no matter how powerful tools like ChatGPT get—and yes, I love ChatGPT and use it daily!—there are some things it will never be able to do the way you can.

Here’s what I mean…

1. People still want real results (from real humans)

AI can offer a million different strategies. It can give you 10 ways to launch a digital product, 50 different Pinterest tips, or an email funnel formula that’s been used by 1,000 creators.

But here’s the thing: people don’t want options. They want what works.

When I recently bought a course from a creator who gets millions of Pinterest views each month, I didn’t want to test out random strategies from ChatGPT—I wanted her strategy. The one that actually got results.

If you've achieved something amazing that others want, your method will always win. People don’t just want information. They want a proven path.

2. People crave connection

Even with all the AI tools in the world, human connection still matters more than ever.

Sure, AI might sound like a human now. But it can’t make someone feel truly seen, heard, or supported.

Information has never been hard to find. But community? That’s a different story.

So here’s your opportunity: how can you build stronger relationships with your audience?

  • Start a weekly newsletter and share behind-the-scenes stories.

  • Create a Facebook group or community chat.

  • Host a local meetup or virtual coffee chat.

  • Add a small personal touch to your onboarding experience.

It doesn’t have to be complicated. Just make it feel human.

3. People still don’t have time

AI might save time—but no one has more of it.

Your audience still has too many tabs open, too many to-dos, and not enough hours in the day.

That’s where you come in.

You get to be the shortcut. The trusted guide. The “I’ve done this and made it simple for you” voice in the noise.

Ask yourself: "How can I help my clients or customers get to the result faster?"

And more importantly, in a way that feels good to them?

The bottom line: You’re not competing with AI. You’re doing what it can’t.

You're not just delivering information. You're delivering results, connection, and time-saving shortcuts your people are craving.

So if you've been feeling a little unsure about where you fit into this new AI-powered world… let this be your reminder:

You’ve got something AI doesn’t. And that will always be your edge.
