A veteran tester with 30 years of experience reflects on a comment made during an online conference — 'more work for the same salary' — as a response to AI expanding the scope of testing work.

Staying stagnant and viewing new capabilities as extra burden makes you a victim of circumstances rather than an agent of your own career trajectory.
