This is exactly what all computer programmers do now, in a sense.

Compiler technology was considered AI, when it was first developed in the 1950s. It was expected to make programmers obsolete, since it allowed people to instruct the computer in a more natural, english-like language.

Of course what actually happened is that they became productivity tools for professional computer programmers, and demand for programmers went through the roof.

I expect these latest AI gizmos to follow the same pattern. They will become productivity tools for human experts, not replace them.

I agree. The content quality and complexity standard will rise thus demanding ai orchestrations by human experts. I guess it's same with portrait painter who is replaced by a 5$ photographer.
