I think a few of the main points are good but part of the worldview here is pretentious and classist to an enraging degree.
Managers aren't in the position they are in because they have special skills that non-managers don't. They are often in those positions because of social class, i.e. their rich parents paid for a better college or were role models for management tracks or connections for landing executive roles etc.
Or they were promoted because they had very effective technical skills.
But putting aside all of that, the idea that AI seems like it should make most if not all of us into managers is something I have been thinking about and trying to accelerate for my life as much as possible.
The closest I have come to making this a practical reality so far is the 'aider' programming tool. I have also started on my own agent framework. It seems like the ability to put these things in a loop over a period of time with direct feedback such as executing scripts they are writing for you is where we are headed. We can already do that of course but I mean that the effectiveness will likely continue to increase as the models and agent systems are refined.
I think there is huge potential for more specialized models that can run locally and continuously without racking up OpenAI bills. The theory is that if the models don't need to know how to do literally everything, they can be smaller and still effective enough at narrow tasks.
To make this convenient we need an easy way to share more specific models and ideally a way to automatically discover and load them on the fly. So my goal is to build the WordPress of agent frameworks at least as far as the ability to very easily install plugins and agents.
