Do You Think AI Will Replace Traditional Jobs in the Next 10 Years?

[tabraizmugshei]

Technology is moving fast, and AI tools are now capable of doing many tasks that used to take hours for humans to complete. From writing and design to customer support, it feels like AI is becoming part of almost every industry.

Some people believe this will create new opportunities, while others worry that it will replace traditional jobs and leave many unemployed.

I’m curious to know:

• Will AI mainly help people work faster, or will it take over completely?
• Which industries do you think are most at risk?
• Do we need new laws to control how AI is used?

What’s your opinion on this?

I believe it will replace many jobs, mostly in industries that can be automated, as well as creative niches, such as writing, design, music, content, etc. The freelance sites are already feeling the shift with much less traffic and sales, as traditional freelance work is being replaced by AI. Freelancers are complaining everywhere about less sales, or no sales, and even the Fiverr CEO said recently they are taking a hit and his own job could be at risk.

I think you'll see some of the big freelance sites evolve into AI tool sites, like what Freepik did. They used to be full of freelancers selling stock photography, but now their money comes from selling AI tool suite subscriptions.

While many jobs will be made redundant, it will be those people who learn to utilize AI to their advantage who will thrive in the changing landscape. Those who complain and worry about it will get left behind, while those who learn to use it will be the ones getting hired for the new related jobs and careers, like Prompt Engineering, AI SaaS developer, Automation implementation, etc.

As a freelancer, I could see the shift coming last year, and I adapt to trends well, so I learned to use AI tools myself, and now earn more using AI than I ever did freelancing. Adapt or die

I think you’re right that adapting is key, but it’s also worth noting that not every role can be replaced entirely. Even with AI in creative fields, there’s still a need for human oversight, strategy, and context that machines can’t fully grasp yet. The shift feels more like a redefinition of roles than a total wipeout.

So will take over and we will be there bait

I think AI will mostly act as a productivity booster rather than fully replacing humans—at least in the near term. Industries like customer support, content creation, and data analysis are seeing big shifts, but the human element is still crucial for strategy, creativity, and decision-making. The key will be balancing innovation with regulation, so we harness AI’s benefits without creating massive job displacement.

AI isn’t going to wipe humans out of the workplace overnight, but it’s definitely changing the rules. Right now, what I see is more of a “work faster with fewer people” effect. For example, one content writer who used to take a whole day for articles can now push out drafts in a few hours with AI support. Same thing with graphic designers using tools like MidJourney or Coders relying on GitHub Copilot.

The industries most at risk are the ones built on repetitive or template-based work — customer service, basic data entry, low-level copywriting, and even some design tasks. But on the flip side, AI is creating new demand for people who can manage, fine-tune, or build around these tools. Think of it like how ATMs reduced the need for cashiers but opened up other banking roles.

As for laws, yes, there should be regulation, but not to slow down innovation. The real concern is misuse: deepfakes, biased AI decisions, or mass job displacement without safety nets. Governments need to step in with clear guidelines, just like they did for financial systems or the internet.

In my opinion, AI will mostly augment rather than completely replace — at least in the near future. The people who adapt and learn how to use these tools will thrive. Those who ignore them might find themselves sidelined.
