Isn't this the standard automation trajectory, of lower level work being done by machines, leaving humans to do the higher level work? Summarizing is a step before generalizing/inferring/what-if/creating. Even for knowledge-workers, wasn't the spreadsheet a similar automation?
Historically, automation creates more work than it replaces; but why should that continue? One reason is that automation is a commodity, so competition shifts to non-automated functions. Human demand continues.
Of course, this doesn't address the non-economic concerns of the Luddites, that the human investment in skills is lost, and the derived sense of human value and dignity. Unfortunately in the long-term: whatever your labour, AI is coming for you.
