I Survived Y2K…I Can Survive AI

When 2025 began, my understanding of AI was basically: This is how the world ends. Not in a subtle way, either. In my imagination, once AI really took off we’d all be either dead or wandering through a sci-fi wasteland—barren, smoky, and somehow always in black and white. So no, I wasn’t exactly thinking, How will this impact my business? Why bother planning a marketing strategy when we’re all headed for robot doom?

But then—drip by drip—AI started showing up anyway. Not as an apocalypse. More like an uninvited houseguest that keeps quietly moving into different rooms. First it was ChatGPT.
