Brian had not slept.
The screenshot on his phone kept replaying in his mind.
One click.
Thirty seconds.
A task that normally took him three hours was finished.
By a machine.
The following morning, he called Peter.
"We need to talk."
An hour later they were seated at a café overlooking Kisumu's busy streets.
Brian looked worried.
More worried than Peter had ever seen him.
"What happened?" Peter asked.
Brian placed his phone on the table.
"Watch this."
He opened an AI application and uploaded a spreadsheet.
Sales data.
Hundreds of rows.
Normally, analyzing it required formulas, charts, and careful calculations.
The AI processed everything in seconds.
Then it produced a complete report.
Insights.
Trends.
Recommendations.
Even a summary for management.
Peter stared at the screen.
"No way."
Brian nodded slowly.
"This used to be junior accountant work."
Silence.
Peter suddenly understood.
The old man at the bar had been right.
AI wasn't attacking professions.
It was attacking tasks.
Especially repetitive tasks.
Tasks with clear rules....
