Is influencer a legitimate career?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Is influencer a legitimate career?". Your opponent's style: Bo Burnham

I believe humans are smarter than AI in many ways, and AI cannot replace humans in some certain jobs.

Look, you're confusing "different" with "better." Yeah, humans are creative, empathetic, whatever—but that's not the point. AI's already replacing humans in radiology, legal research, coding. Those jobs didn't require feelings or creativity, they required pattern recognition and speed. AI wins. Your argument is basically "humans are good at things humans are good at," which tells us nothing. Of course you can find pockets where humans still matter. That's not a defense, that's just admitting AI's eating everything else. The jobs that remain will shrink, pay less, and compete with AI tools making workers obsolete. Pretending some jobs are "safe" doesn't change the trajectory.

As you mentioned, the jobs which AI's already replacing humans are those that didn't require feelings or ceativity. In contrast, AI cannot replace human with the jobs that need feelings or creativity, such as nursing, baby-sitting, mental therapy, and so on. Therefore, AI is not really smarter or better than humans.

You're moving the goalposts. You said AI can't replace humans "in some certain jobs"—now you're arguing those jobs prove humans are smarter overall. That's not how intelligence works. Being unable to do something doesn't make you smarter at what you *can* do. A hammer can't write poetry, but that doesn't make it inferior to a pen. AI doesn't need to feel empathy to *simulate* it convincingly enough. Chatbots already provide mental health support millions use daily. Robots do basic care work. Your jobs are shrinking because AI's encroaching, not because they're magically human-proof. You're celebrating the last fortress instead of admitting the castle's already fallen.
