Bots are getting blamed for everything. Lost jobs. Lost trust. Lost sleep from bingeing videos of AI cats with excellent knife skills...

But let’s skip the deepfakes and doomscrolling. The real question isn’t what AI could do. It’s what AI is actually doing right now in business, in workflows, in your inbox.

And while it’s not exactly coming for your soul (yet), the bots are showing up everywhere: rewriting job descriptions, sniffing out fraud, scheduling deliveries and occasionally recommending glue on pizza.

The hype is loud. The impact? Quietly practical. AI isn’t just gunning for digital artists. It’s optimizing spreadsheets, auditing contracts and answering help desk tickets faster than Carl from IT.

Let’s break it down.

📦️ Where AI’s Getting It Right

AI isn’t chasing likes. It’s chasing efficiency.

• In supply chains, it predicts demand, spots shady vendors and even negotiates prices.

• Customer service? It's already botified. Some chats feel human. Others... not so much.

• And in compliance, AI’s thriving. It sifts through transactions, flags weird activity, and enforces rules faster than your nosiest coworker.

According to Stanford’s Human-Centered AI, nearly 80% of companies now use AI, with investment topping $100 billion. The global consulting firm McKinsey reports that half of workers say bots already handle a third of their tasks—usually without the boss noticing.

Translation: the bots aren’t coming. They’re already in the Slack channel.

❌ Where it’s still a bot mess

AI might audit your expense report, but it still can’t fold a fitted sheet.

This is the same tech that told people to eat rocks and try breathing on Mars. Common sense? Still MIA.

It also fumbles judgment. Sure, it can flag a delay—but it won’t smooth things over with a client or read the room on a sensitive call.

And installing AI isn’t plug-and-play. People resist. Systems crash. The bots don’t know what they don’t know.

🪑 Jobs bots want but can’t take…yet

Entry-level roles in tech, law and finance are already shrinking. Even Amazon CEO Andy Jassy warned of reductions as AI automates entire job categories.

But bots still struggle with anything messy, human, or deeply unstructured. If your job involves strategy, creativity, or feelings—congrats, you’re still useful.

Here’s the rule of thumb:

• If it’s repetitive, predictable, or spreadsheet-based? Bot bait.

• If it’s political, ambiguous, or emotional? You’re good. For now.

🧺 Can it fold a fitted sheet?

AI might dominate dashboards, but it still can’t read the room, manage your intern, or say, “Hey, you doing OK?”

It’s not replacing us. It’s remixing us.

Learn the bot’s strengths. Cover its blind spots. And maybe keep folding the sheets.

BotTalk: Signals from the ice cube at the bottom of the world 🧊📡🤖 

This week on Bot Talk, we’re ignoring the latest AI headline (just for a sec) because Antarctica is sending out literal vibes.

Scientists just caught ultra-low frequency radio waves echoing up from underneath Antarctica. Not satellites. Not submarines. Not even rogue AirPods. Just deep, frozen weirdness sending out a steady, unexplained hum.

Naturally, everyone’s first thought: aliens. (Calm down, Reddit.) But the official guesses are more grounded—think geomagnetic murmurs, shifting tectonics, or the Earth’s core doing interpretive dance. Still, no one really knows.

And that’s what makes it so wrong it loops back to right.

While AI’s busy hallucinating recipes and rewriting résumés, our actual planet just dropped a new signal. No filters. No prompt engineering. Just raw, analog mystery from the bottom of the map.

Reminder: the next great disruption might not come from Silicon Valley– it might come from under the ice.

🚀 Coming up next week …

Can AI make you rich…or just really tired?

Social media’s full of faceless YouTube channels, Etsy stores and “passive income” pipelines built on AI-generated content. But are they real? Or just dressed-up scams in Canva clothing?

We’ll dig into the schemes, the dreams and why “Make $10K in your sleep” often comes with a rude wake-up call.
