Last weekend I called a restaurant in Toronto to order takeout.

It was a busy evening and I was exhausted.

But what cheered me up was a very soothing feminine voice on the other side.

A few moments later, I realized I was flirting with her more than actually ordering. I even ended up getting the vegetarian dish she suggested (and I don’t even like vegetarian food that much).

Aaaaand just when I was about to ask her out, the heartbreaking twist came.

She said:

“Please leave a review on how I did today as an AI receptionist.”

After hanging up, I was smiling… and also incredibly embarrassed with myself. I promised I would never speak to anyone about it.

Me(sam) after realising…

(But technically I never said anything about not writing about it… so here I am spilling the beans.)

That’s when it hit me — AI isn’t coming. It’s already answering our phone calls.

That was one of the major reasons that made me write this blog about AI.

But wait… how do you know this blog itself isn’t written by AI?

Well, you don’t have to call Sherlock Holmes to figure that out. I’ll make the job easier — I’ll post my company’s LinkedIn profile so you can verify it yourself.

Now moving forward, isn’t it amusing how big the difference is between the last two centuries? And not even that — in the last five years alone, almost anything and everything is starting to be done by AI.

Take a look at the changes below.

Did you noticed how almost everything is realted to AI these days. Makes you think about it right ?

Well, I would say it’s in human nature that fast-paced changes make us uneasy.

Just like in the 1960s, when ATMs were first introduced. Bank tellers and customers alike were skeptical. Workers feared losing their jobs, and customers distrusted a machine handling their money.

But later, everyone realized that ATMs actually made banking more efficient and accessible. Rather than eliminating teller jobs, they reduced the cost of running bank branches, allowing banks to open more locations.

Now, that being said, resisting change is not always the answer. But it also doesn’t mean we should become slaves to technology.

We have to find the middle ground where we use AI to enhance our productivity instead of letting it do everything for us.

It’s just like doing the same work ourselves, but with better tools.

For example, creating a resume completely with the help of AI might remove your authenticity and personal touch. But completely ignoring AI might cause your resume to get stuck in ATS systems used by recruiters.

So the real solution is to use AI features while still making the final work your own.

Interestingly, we also built a platform based exactly on this idea. I’ll share the website link so you can check it out. AI Pro Resume
