AI Isn’t a Question of If — It’s When

Let’s get one thing straight: the future of work isn’t some distant, theoretical concept. It’s here. It’s happening. And whether we love it, fear it, or roll our eyes at the hype, the truth is this — it’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when.

(make sure you scroll down for the provided prompt)

While you might doubt that AI can do your job as well as you can next week or even next year (and you’d be right — AI companies often overhype their tools and underappreciate the nuance of what you do), what work life looks like in 5 to 10 years is guaranteed to be vastly different than today. So the question isn’t if change is coming — it’s when, and how prepared you’ll be when it arrives.

Yes, there’s uncertainty. Yes, there’s plenty of hype, fear, and even outright hate swirling around AI, robots, and automation. But the best thing you can do for yourself — for your career, your company, and your future — isn’t to sit on the sidelines. It’s to dig in, learn, and start preparing today.

Because those who prepare will thrive. Those who don’t will scramble to catch up.

Why You Need a Personalized Future of Work Roadmap

Every job, every industry, every organization is going to evolve differently. The changes hitting a nurse in healthcare won’t look the same as the changes hitting a project manager in construction, or a marketer in tech.

That’s why I built a future of work prompt you can run through ChatGPT (or Claude, or Grok — whichever AI you like best). Pair it with your resume or LinkedIn profile, and it will give you a personalized roadmap of what the next 5–10 years might look like in your role, your industry, and your company.

Not generic advice. Not vague “AI is coming for jobs” fearmongering. A tailored step-by-step view of how your work may evolve — and how you can prepare.

Copy and Paste this Prompt:

Copy this. Paste it into ChatGPT (or Claude, or Grok). Add your job details and your resume or LinkedIn profile. Then watch what happens:

I want you to act as my career coach. Your job is to help me understand how the world of work will evolve for [Insert Job Title] in [Insert Industry], working at [Insert Organization Name], with an organization size of [Insert # of Employees]. 

I want you to help me better understand how the following technologies will impact my job and my organization: generative AI, LLMs, humanoid robots, AI agents, and potentially AGI. Please break this down into evolutionary phases of what’s likely to happen from where we are today in 2025 through the next 5–10 years. For each phase, please explain: 

What the stage looks like — how both my role and my organization/industry may shift.

What needs to change — the technology, business practices, and workforce behaviors required for that phase.

What the job will entail — how my responsibilities, skills, and day-to-day work will evolve inside this type of organization.

What my opportunities most likely are — both personally (career growth, new roles, skill-building) and within the company (influence, leadership, innovation).

How I can prepare for that opportunity — specific steps I should take to position myself for success within my organization and industry.

At the end, summarize the big-picture career path for someone like me in this role and organization, and then offer to help me take the very first step so I can start building momentum.

If I provide my resume or LinkedIn profile, please use it to make your guidance more personalized.
