Are you worried about your job in this ever-changing landscape of AI and tech? Have you seen your personal life turned upside down and been affected by the change? I predict that it will get better, but it will also face rejection to a point.

The spiritual laws speak of karma and reciprocity, mostly with a slight shift in tonality, but they remain the main ones. With that being said, how can you be successful if you are the opposite, so the consumer is frustrated? Ever applied for a job and been met with an AI system? Were you successful in your endeavor? I bet you weren’t. Have you ever tried to ask a question about a product, only to be met with a bot who either has no idea what you’re saying or, in my case, can’t understand my Midlands accent, which isn’t strong at all? Let me show you something.


I work in corporate now and then, picking up odd contracts. I apply for these using online tools. Recently, companies have been replacing people with bots and AI systems, mainly in their talent departments. Seeing as headhunting is a skill based on potential, hiring decisions, and rationale, and it’s hard to replicate that same customer service with a robot. One thing has happened as a result, and it’s proving detrimental. LinkedIn is currently filled with incredible and talented people with remarkable records of achievements, all being rejected by the hiring process because the very computer systems in place don’t have the same instincts a human would. These bots and AI systems are hiring differently and at a much lower standard of quality. Not only that, I have personally made a list of companies I will never go near because my application process with them was so terrible. We’re talking about being required to create an account so they can have my data, only to be met with requirements they weren’t transparent about from the start or encountering a system that won’t let me proceed further. It leaves a dishonest, bad, and frustrating taste in my mouth.


Now, I’m no spring chicken, and I can tell you: the moment these companies start upsetting customers, they are on borrowed time!


So, can tech and AI replace humans? No. People buy from people, and good energy can sell anything. Companies are making a huge mistake by following the AI trend and trying to replace people. We will be seeing huge names crumble. Think about it: if it’s that hard to even apply for a job, let alone work with a robot, how on earth are they going to build trust and longevity and leave a lasting impression? Taking a risk and leaning into tech because everyone else is doing it will be to the detriment of the company itself. The number of job applications I’ve either abandoned halfway through because I felt it was just a data-mining exercise or was forced to abort due to technical issues is a number I’d rather not think about. Those years of creating a great reputation can dissipate in minutes.


The other question is, what does AI or tech bring to a customer service or artistry remit that is so beneficial? Cost-cutting? Sure, but the problem is that you’re already losing customers, so you’re losing cash in your first few moments of interaction. Perhaps it’s just the new thing? Yes, but don’t stretch too far. Following trends doesn’t always pay off.


Now, then, I’m going to throw a curveball here I am a psychic medium and advise many, from people in politics to people in the public eye. And if there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that the public does not like to be lied to. They know when an AI bot is pretending to be a celebrity or guru. They can feel it; they hear the slight differences; they sense the vibration. It’s those tiny waves of vibration and warmth that are missing. Don’t underestimate the small elements of a human being. It’s those elements that create someone's character. It’s those things that don’t make sense on paper but can make someone sexy or appealing in some way, even when they shouldn’t be. It’s those tiny, incremental efforts that make someone interesting and worth investing energy into. In spirituality, energy is money, and money is energy. So, from a company perspective, if you’re replacing people with AI and tech, it will be functional at best. But unless there’s a huge government drive to replace people with robots, I don’t feel or predict that it will take over. In fact, I feel it will circle back around, where people gravitate to people again.


Personally, I get so sick of applying to robots and not being heard properly by the bots that I’ve circled back to going into shops again and don’t spend time online shopping. I even went into my own back the other week just so I could speak to an actual person! People are going to come back together again.


So, let's look at the art world. The art market saw a new introduction of digital art, the problem was most of it was holographic and therefore didn’t age well and so became a liability and not an asset, it was not tangible or even physical at one point. There are movies and even YouTube videos of AI pretending to be someone, hijacking their voice and face, and pretending to speak to you. It is very clear that it is AI, and it doesn’t resonate at all. Again, I feel this will be short-lived or at least a subsidiary of the existing art market rather than take over from it.


We live in a world of vibration, so how on earth is something that does not even generate a vibration that is going to resonate with people? The future of AI and tech will be compartmentalized to its best form, which is assisting people and not taking over from people. We will use tech and AI to assist, but I don’t feel it will take over. From what I am seeing already, it offers nothing but frustration and unpredictability. The World is built on vibration and unpredictability. So, for now, I feel we’re going to come full circle where we are impressed by people, embrace people, and want to work and buy from people.
