🤖 AI Is Coming for Average Jobs First
OpenAI is hiring former investment bankers to build AI that replaces junior finance workers. This is happening right now.
Why high-paying jobs first? Simple - that's where the money is. Banking, consulting, law, and tech are the biggest targets.
Why junior positions?
Junior workers mostly follow predictable rules and processes - and anything predictable can be replaced by a computer.
The impact is already real:
- Goldman Sachs says 95% of IPO work that took teams weeks now takes AI minutes
- Luxury brand stocks dropped after OpenAI's announcement
- One smart former banker can outperform 100 average employees
The bottom line: Average performance is more dangerous than ever. AI is eliminating average human work faster than anyone expected.
