"augmenting, not replacing" has been my go-to line for people who are anxious. There is no real meaningful discussion taking place about replacing people, it's just about augmenting people.

I guarantee that there are discussions taking place in countless executive meetings trying to figure out how to replace people with this tech. People are expensive.
- japhyr 4y agoIf you have a team of twenty people, and you augment them well enough that they can all work more efficiently, the team can go two directions: it can stay the same size and do more, or it can shrink and do the same amount of work. Some organizations are going to take the first approach, and some will take the second. Neither is right; some organizations can expand on what they do. Others have a narrower scope, and would be better off getting leaner. There's always been a tension between an organization's needs and an individual's needs. I'm pretty sure these tools are going to increase that tension for a while.
