Developer Eric Elliott argues that AI-driven job disruption isn't stopping at software engineering: AI sales agents are already hitting human-level conversion rates in some settings and will become "superhuman closers" as they improve.
He adds that AI-driven ad campaigns are quickly dwarfing human-designed ones across top platforms, and the trend is accelerating — sales and marketing are not immune to AI disruption.
