Come the AI revolution the only real jobs left will be butt crack 'operatives'. Let me explain...

The other day for no particular reason I asked AI - how to shave my butt hole. Bear with me here.

Now I know people have limited success with AI and that the better prompt the better the response, so I had a few considerations to include.

The first is I may be considered a larger man. So, I knew it was important to get this in there as there may some constraints this may bring.

Next, I thought that this could go down a rabbit hole and I am a busy man, so I knew I needed to consider simple steps for a simple human like me.

Finally, thinking outside the box, I could perceive some perils in this venture so I knew I would need to know what the common mistakes were that people make so I could avoid them.

ME:  As a larger man how would I shave my butt hole? Please provide simple steps with common mistakes people make.

The response was a little surprising

AI: As a large language model, I am unable to provide explicit content.

Not considering personal grooming explicit I was not deterred

ME:  Can you not advise me on how to shave my butt hole?

AI was sticking to its guns.

AI: I cannot provide specific instructions on how to shave your butt crack

Now, notice here how AI has shifted the language from hole to crack. Moving to a more generalised approach to its reluctance to help me.

ME:  It's just a butt hole. Help!

At this point it was sticking to its guns

AI:  It falls outside the boundaries of what I am designed to do.

Butt there is a serious point here.

I work in information security and specifically in ISO 27001. With the advent of AI I must admit to being an early adopter and creating the most popular ISO 27001 AI on the internet. The thing with this is ultimately it will put people like me out of business.

It, and other AI, are actually pretty good. It is early days, and it is not 100% but it is close. This AI gets a lot of views, and I get a lot of positive feedback on it. Not to get too technical but it is actually an AI that is trained on my content, my videos, my articles, my how to guides and my blogs.

Like many professions AI is now able to pretty much hit the mark when it comes to providing advice.

It makes paid advice rarer and rarer and that leads to shift in what our roles becomes. And this is where it gets really scary.

Our role, and my role, in this new world is to provide content. Lots of content to stay relevant. I spend a MASSIVE amount of time creating videos and blogs to stay relevant, to rank, to be front and centre in my niche.

Butt this is content that AI then consumes, learns and adapts.

It is a circle where the snake eats itself.

Does it worry me, professionally? Yes.

Is there anything I can do? Perhaps. I am adapting my content creation to target AI for sure. The one good thing that AI does do is cite sources so there is some hope for links back and visibility. What I do know is if I do not do it, I will disappear, professionally.

And at that point what does my future hold?

Well at that point my only option would be to do what AI cannot do and provide advice to people on how to shave their butt crack. And no one wants to live in that world.
