I agree. I think we are in the next phase of automation.

First it was mechanizing everything that was reasonable in the blue collar world. Next it will be everything in the white collar space. True creativity will survive, but I'm thinking about the folks that apply a combination of business process knowledge and discipline to get things done - those jobs are in AI's wheelhouse. Accounting, even the year end magic to make numbers tie out - only requires rules and target threshold seeking. Project managers - the administrative PMBOK crowd, they will be dust in the wind. Middle managers of just about everything - guarding pillars of budgets balanced with sufficient labor to get things done. It's all logic around maintaining balance on competing scales - AI can do that without sweating.

I like the art example - the latest crop of AI drawing tools are simply amazing. Meat and potatoes amazing, but still drawing from existing creativity to deliver. I think your right, it will displace lower and mid-tier artists that prepare copy for small businesses - those jobs will be gone.

White collar folks, watch out, if you're not bringing something special to the table, AI can take your place if the price is right. As time goes on, there will be fewer and fewer people that can run faster than the AI.
