Wrote the book on domain names — meanwhile ChatGPT can brainstorm, check, and register one in the time it takes you to open your book's Amazon page.

Your doom score of 72/100 puts you here on the AI apocalypse curve.
Analysis
Darryl built a personal brand around domain name expertise at Saw.com, but 'knowing good domains' is exactly the kind of pattern-matching, brainstorming task LLMs eat for breakfast. His moat is his book and his name, not a skill AI can't replicate — and domain valuation/brainstorming tools are already automating the fun part of his job.
Skills at Risk
Domain name brainstorming
AI models can generate thousands of brandable domain name candidates instantly, a task that used to require human creative intuition.
Domain valuation
Algorithmic appraisal tools already use historical sales data and ML to estimate domain worth faster than manual expertise.
Content/thought leadership writing
Books and articles establishing 'authority' can be approximated by AI-generated content at a fraction of the cost.
Domain brokering/sales pitches
AI chatbots can handle buyer outreach, negotiation scripts, and lead qualification for domain sales.
Skills That Save You
Personal brand and authorship
Being 'the guy who wrote the book' carries reputational trust that AI-generated content can't easily replicate.
Industry relationships and network
Deal-making in the domain aftermarket relies on trust and negotiation history that AI can't fully replace.
Public speaking / media presence
Human charisma and credibility in interviews or panels still requires an actual recognizable person.

🛟Survival Guide
Diversify into advisory and consulting work
Leverage your book and reputation to sell strategy and brand consulting, not just domain picks — services AI can't yet package as trust.
Write 'WWW.COM 2.0: How AI Bought My Job'
FunConsider it a survival memoir. At least you'll have a sequel before the bots start writing their own books about buying domains from other bots.
Build proprietary data or tools around domain trends
Owning unique datasets (historical sales, traffic analytics) gives you a defensible edge that generic AI models don't have access to.
