In the world of AI, many people lose their jobs due to automation. This can be very hard. One person shared their story online. They lost their job in May because of AI. They have been looking for new jobs ever since. They applied to over 100 jobs but only got a few interviews. They feel very frustrated and stressed. Their savings are running out, and they might not have money by November. This person works in graphic design, an industry hit hard by AI tools.

People can learn a lot from this story. It shows the importance of staying updated with new technologies. If this person knew about the changes in their field, they could have planned better. Many AI tools, like Midjourney and Ideogram AI, can do graphic design work. Knowing about these tools helps people understand the risks to their jobs.

Joining a community can also help. A supportive group can offer advice and keep members updated. They can share tips on saving money and finding new skills to learn. This support can make a big difference in dealing with job loss.

Financial stability is very important as well. Everyone should check their savings and make sure they can cover expenses for at least six months. If someone loses their job, this money can help them get by. It's also good to avoid big investments if your job might be at risk.

Another key point is mental health. Job loss can be very stressful. People should practice mindfulness and other techniques to stay calm. Talking to others in a similar situation can also help. It’s normal to feel worried about the future, but having a plan can reduce some of that stress.

Finally, people should think about new skills they can learn. Some jobs are harder to automate than others. For example, motion design is a skill that graphic designers can learn. Using tools like After Effects can make them less likely to lose their jobs to AI.

This story is a reminder to stay proactive. Always keep learning and adapt to new changes. Being prepared can make the future a lot less scary.
