Brijesh Deb's Webinar Question

I feel "Taking the seat" is replacing me at work.

It won't happen because I didn't make that when :

Automation tried to take my seat.

No code low code tools tried to take my seat.

Now it's AI turn, I won't give my seat to it, instead I ordered an assistant seat to AI. Sometimes I play musical chairs with AI🤣.

I won't let AI take my seat, as long as:

I can think testing beyond testcase.

I can analyse risks.

I can ask questions.

I can add value to the product by wearing customer's hat.

I am open for feedback.

I don't stop learning.

My brain works.

This question made me think about how my thought process was when I started using AI.

First, I started generating normal content which AI is famous for, then I shifted to creating test cases. I started this poc to show the world that it won't cover much, but to my surprise, it has written 40% well. 

There, I questioned my thought process: Do you give the same prompt and ask a junior tester to write test cases without giving any context or project-specific test case structure? Inner me said no, then I modified the prompt, provided better context, and it did 85% well.

So it works, not for the complex but for the simple, medium scenarios and it can work well.

Started utilising it to debug issues, being careful to implement only what I can understand. It knows entire computer engineering, but once there is any error, you need to solve it.

Some agents can test and give results as well. 

Some agents can develop and give an entire application. 

Some agents can plan your entire travel and give you the tickets. 

And there are real scenarios where Agents failed to fix what they developed.

AI can hallucinate. You can't deny that.

As of now, no one can take our seats, but if you can't upskill, reskill, and evolve very soon, it'll be replaced, and it's mostly by another human being, as of now.

Really hope it shouldn't be the agent replacing us. Always take the pilot seat, even when you're using Copilot. And as Brijesh said, if you can't embrace AI, someone will, and they can replace you.

Though I am late, still wanted to share my insight.

Th​@brijeshdeb  for the insightful session.

Taking the seat at the table, to me, means owning my expertise, leading with intent, and continuously evolving in a rapidly transforming landscape. With over 13 years in the industry, I’ve seen technologies shift, paradigms change — but what remains constant is the value of human judgment, creativity, and leadership.

AI is not a threat to my seat — it’s a powerful tool I choose to integrate, not surrender to. Taking the seat means I actively command my skills, stay curious, and upskill relentlessly. It means I lead conversations around AI adoption, not just follow them. I bring domain knowledge, emotional intelligence, and strategic thinking to the table — things AI can support but not replace.

In my role, I see AI as an accelerator, not a replacement.

I’m with you on every word!
