The AI doesn't make anything harder for the people downstream. If anything it gives all the people downstream more power. The power to justifiably ignore the AI summary and do whatever they originally wanted as they see fit. This makes the people upstream even more obviously redundant than they already were before all the AI slop. The downstream people picking up the slack are effectively promoted. This is pretty much the definition of a layoff. It's just a different and much more streamlined way this time to weed out the losers. The top AI users within an organization hang themselves by proving they're not needed. The system works.
