I'm a composer. For over a decade I've written music for film and television — the kind of work that requires genuine human feeling, years of craft, and an intuitive understanding of how sound moves people emotionally. Before music, I served in the army, which taught me to adapt to almost anything.
Almost anything. AI music generation is a different kind of threat. It doesn't outperform me in the traditional sense — it just makes "good enough" instantaneous and free. And in an industry already squeezed by streaming economics, "good enough for free" is a catastrophic competitor.
I built this site because I couldn't find one honest, clear place that showed the real scale of what's happening — not wrapped in tech optimism or corporate spin. Just the numbers, the stories, and the resources. I'm not anti-AI. I'm pro-honesty.

LostJobToAI.com exists to provide transparent, honest data about the human cost of AI automation. We are not anti-technology — but workers deserve to see the full picture.
Methodology: The counter is derived from McKinsey Global Institute (375M jobs by 2030), Goldman Sachs (300M globally at risk), and Oxford University (47% of US jobs at high risk). We apply a daily displacement rate extrapolated from confirmed layoff announcements. The counter is a conservative estimate.
