I'm definitely an AI maximalist and worried about mass unemployment one day, but I think this article isn't right; it's too shallow and has some assumptions that aren't right. Chess isn't comparable to management because chess is ultimately based on simple rules. And I think we're already seeing automation and robots replacing hourly workers in a lot of interesting scenarios incl. self-checkouts and app-based automated checkouts in stores, robots that delivers your food in Asian restaurants etc. What I do think though is that wasteful administrative management (and non-management) work is slowly getting less (caveat: I work at Asana and it's our mission to make work coordination, tracking and reporting easier. Same with rostering tools like Deputy etc.) and so we're certainly minimising the "middle manager overhead" but to say that it's being replaced is a long stretch.
