The K-shaped economy is playing out in real-time.


If you're not on the right side of it, I'd be very worried.
AI is splitting every industry into two camps:
a) People who are genuinely great at their craft are becoming exponentially more valuable.
b) People who were average are becoming virtually worthless overnight.
Anyone can build a website in 10 minutes with AI now.
If you were a mediocre web designer, you're done.
Anyone can write decent copy with Claude.
If you were an average copywriter, the market doesn't need you anymore.
But here's the other side of the K-shape:
The truly great web designer is now 10x more productive and commands higher rates than ever.
The elite copywriter who uses AI to strategize, think, and come up with great ideas is now worth more than ever.
The uncomfortable question to ask yourself:
Am I genuinely great at what I do - or was I just good enough to get by?
Because "good enough" no longer has a market.
The window to move from the bottom of the K to the top is still open.
But it won't be forever.
