We should expect change but the expectation of AI being able to arbitrarily replace humans is not an idea held by people who manage projects. It's an idea that brings its own problems which then other people must solve. Humans highly value productivity as that's hard for humans, and simultaneously we don't necessarily value our human contributions to the process, such as, but not limited to: - Inventiveness, redefining the problem or challenging the necessity - Management such as dealing with other humans, motives and objectives - Course correction and morality The importance of productivity distracts certain types into believing that the human is redundant in the process. With AI, humans become more productive, but the AI itself is incomplete as it can't solve the realities of business where the above human-skills become essential. A limiting factor is that ultimately the works will go to serve a human and humans are fickle, they change their mind often and are poor at defining their needs and wants. If we can't extract humans from the input, and humans will be using the output, then we can't realistically exclude humans from the process too. Finally, the minutiae of a project also means that the higher-ups in a company, who already have their own jobs, won't have the time or skills necessary to test and babysit the AI - even with advanced AI someone will need to be briefing it: past advancements show that we don't have less people working as productivity increases, instead we create more with the additional productivity; there is no ceiling on what we can create - this is a fundamental flaw in the thinking of those that believe robots will replace humans, because it relies on the falsehood that we already have everything.
