It looks like my job is about a year away from being replaced

Summary

The author, who works in video editing and office administration, reflects that recent AI capabilities such as Astra and GPT-5 have advanced so rapidly that they expect their job to be automated within one to two years, expressing skepticism that retraining can outpace the technology.

After Astra came out, I spent a lot of time using it myself and watching how other people were using it. I currently work in video editing and office administration. Up through GPT-5, I personally didn't feel like the threat to my job was that serious. But this time feels different. At this point, it seems almost inevitable that my job will be replaced and probably within the next one or two years. I honestly didn't expect LLMs to become this capable of freely operating and using software this quickly. It's genuinely unsettling. People talk a lot about "adapting to the AI era," but at this point, I can't help wondering if that's basically like trying to stop a tsunami with a wooden plank. There's also a lot of talk about retraining and reskilling. But at this rate of progress, I'm pretty convinced that by the time I finish retraining, the concept of having a "job" itself might already be a thing of the past.
