AI’s Coming for Your Job? How to Outwit the Robots (SB1699)

The robots aren’t just coming—they’re already here. And if you’re not paying attention, they might not just take your job… they could take your personal data too. In this episode of The Stacking Benjamins Show, Joe Saul-Sehy, OG, and Doug dive into the rise of artificial intelligence, exploring whether it’s a threat, a tool, or something in between. If you’ve been wondering how AI will impact your work, your privacy, and your future, this episode is a must-listen. They kick off with a surprising headline: Gen Z workers are sidestepping AI entirely—not by resisting it, but by choosing careers where machines can’t compete (like landscaping and trades), and using AI tools to grow their businesses faster. This sparks a full-on basement debate about how technology has historically impacted jobs, what the next evolution might look like, and whether AI will make our lives easier… or just busier. In today’s show: Why some jobs may disappear—but others are about to explode with opportunity The surprising role AI is playing in blue-collar and skilled trade growth Why being AI-curious (not AI-phobic) is your best financial move New tech tools that supercharge productivity—from transcription wallets to note-taking bots How AI is already transforming education and career paths What to do right now to stay ahead of the AI curve Then the guys shift gears to a more sinister topic: data privacy. CNET recently reported which free AI chatbots are scooping up the most of your personal info—and which are surprisingly respectful. The gang reveals which apps are best to trust, and which are like letting Zuck crash on your couch (bad idea). We’ll also hear from listener John, who wants to hire a financial advisor but isn’t sure where to start. Joe and OG break down how to find the right fit, why fees aren’t the most important factor, and the one question that tells you if someone’s worth hiring. Plus: Doug’s trivia on egomaniacal coin designers A TikTok minute about U2, dating apps, and dad jokes Back porch chatter about Pontiac Azteks, water treatment careers, and IMAX concert pilgrimages Takeaway: AI isn’t just a tech trend—it’s reshaping our economy, our careers, and even how we learn. Whether you’re a Gen Z worker, mid-career professional, or planning your retirement, now’s the time to lean in, explore what AI can (and can’t) do, and secure your future before the bots beat you to it.
