Totally agree, maybe we should replace lower and middle management with AI. What i usually find is that lower and middle management is the reason shit isn't getting done. They are the messenger that don't want to get shot but want to get promoted. Why not let the people on the floor complain to a AI manager, the people on the floor know exactly what is killing their productivity. Like "yo ai manager, manually filling in those data field is taking quiet some time to check someones credit score is it possible the IT department can automate that process it might save 2 min a form" then AI manager can prioritise stuff like this.

> the people on the floor know exactly what is killing their productivity The reality is that they frequently don’t.

  I’d say people on the floor know the problem very well. Frequently they don’t know the solution though and they are often the wrong people to find it.

  People on the floor know exactly what is killing their productivity given they use the product for hours each day to do their data entry tasks.

    Data entry? You must be thinking of a very specific scenario and worker.

Managing people is going to be one of the last jobs to go away. The managers might go from managing 150k/year developers to managing 50k/year prompt "engineers", but someone is still going to be there to hire, fire and ask people to do things until AI enables truly full-stack companies-of-one as a majority case.

  They're language models. They don't seem less capable of replacing a manager than a software engineer. Language models can make a powerpoint and fill in an Excel spreadsheet. They can sit in on a meeting that could have been an e-mail. Hiring is a game of craps, but a language model could try to evaluate resumes for you.
