The AI tools market just had its most dramatic year ever. ChatGPT lost nearly 20 points of market share. Google Gemini doubled its user base to 750 million. Claude became the most valuable AI platform per user, generating $2.2 billion in enterprise revenue. And a free, open-source model from China called DeepSeek proved you don’t need billions of dollars to build competitive AI.

In this special season break episode, Carlo Thompson delivers a complete market report on every major AI tool: ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Anthropic’s Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Grok, GitHub Copilot, and AI image generators. But this isn’t a product review. It’s a threat assessment. Each tool is mapped directly to the job functions it’s automating and the sectors where displacement is already happening.

With nearly 78,000 tech jobs lost to AI in 2025 and 41% of employers planning further reductions, understanding this market isn’t optional. It’s survival.

Plus: A full Season 2 recap and an exclusive preview of Season 3: Advanced Strategies (Episodes 13-18), covering geographic arbitrage, age-specific playbooks, the AI skills stack, and more.

SURVIVING AI | Season 2: The Protection Playbook | Episode 12 (Season Finale)
"The Final Immunity Test — Are You Actually Going to Survive?"

Two seasons. Twelve episodes. The data, the timelines, the risk assessment, the career paths, the retraining roadmaps. Now the hard question: Did you actually do anything with it?
In this Season 2 finale, Carlo Thompson delivers the Survivor Diagnostic — a five-question test to determine if you’re a Survivor, a Tinkerer, or Delusional. Then: the 7-Day Survival Challenge, a step-by-step action plan to transform from listener to actor in one week. Plus: the five biggest excuses for inaction and how to override each one, commitment devices from behavioral psychology, 6-month checkpoints by risk tier, and the future-self letter exercise that will change how you see your next two years.
Season 3: Advanced Strategies is coming — geographic arbitrage, the age factor, the AI skills stack, the relationship economy, side businesses, and the future-proof mindset. But it’s for people who’ve already started.

Think AI is going to take all the jobs? Think again. 83% of business leaders believe AI will ELEVATE the importance of uniquely human skills—not replace them. 65% of executives say human creativity remains essential to competitive advantage, even as they pour billions into AI. MIT researchers just released a framework called EPOCH—the human capabilities AI is most likely to complement, not replace. At the top? Creativity. Empathy. Original thought. But here's the paradox: As AI gets more capable, human creativity is actually declining. Students show a 42% decrease in divergent thinking. Junior professionals struggle to ideate without AI prompting. This episode makes the case that your creativity isn't a relic of the pre-AI world—it's your ticket to thriving in the post-AI world. We'll cover the science of what AI can't do, the economics of human creativity, and six actionable strategies to develop your irreplaceable edge. In the age of algorithms, your creativity is your superpower.
