The AI Job Displacement Wave Just Hit Shore
THE BOMBSHELL NOBODY'S TALKING ABOUT
On July 17, 2025, OpenAI quietly released ChatGPT Agent—an AI that can control a computer like a human employee. This isn't "help with" tasks. It does the actual work.
Watch it book flights, analyze spreadsheets, research competitors, and build presentations. All while you sleep. Available to ChatGPT Pro, Plus, and Team users through a simple dropdown menu.
Here's what just became obsolete:
Virtual assistants ($40K-60K/year)
Junior analysts ($50K-70K/year)
Data entry specialists ($30K-45K/year)
Administrative coordinators ($35K-55K/year)
The terrifying part? It costs as little as $20/month (ChatGPT Plus).
