>If artificial intelligence is coming for our jobs, its plan is to turn us all into middle managers of overlapping, interacting AI systems. The only problem? Middle management is stressful, grinding, usually thankless work. People speak derisively about middle managers because their outputs are hard to define and monitor—they are viewed, sometimes unfairly, as a mere link in the chain. That's a leap. Chances are you'll still be seen as a producer and not a manager, so your job won't look like a middle manager of humans. In this case, your output is defined, and quality would be correlated with your prompting skills and any edits you make. You'll likely be in less meetings than middle managers, but maybe we'll have AI secretaries (avatars?) that go to those meetings for us. And yes, the pay will be way less than middle managers. All that rebuttal to illustrate that job enhancement is a far more likely outcome for most of us, with only a small amount of lower skilled jobs at risk for complete obsolescence. You won't be joining the management caste unless you intentionally go for it. Plus you can still be a developer and glue things to AI systems. That's certainly not going away either.
