I think that one of important purposes of hierarchy alongside the delegation of responsibilities is the delegation of liabilities. One can let AI handle some of the aspects of responsibilities of middle mgmt, like reports, metrics and assignments. But should things go south for whatever reason, AI won't be able to assume the liabilities and shield the upper mgmt. Besides, one can't form a clique or faction with AI. On the other hand, replacing workers with AI still has the lure of "advancement" ... to bad AI hyped more than it could deliver and in the long run turned more expensive to operate, hardly replaceable too.
