This is really why ai will have a more profound impact on the society: it is fundamentally changing the hierarchy of conpetence we have gotten so accustomed to.

That is fine because there are other parts of the value chain these 98% people fit into. With the development of Ai I don't see new areas to graduate into. So you are right: there will be people left. But it is not clear what the masses can up skill themselves to do.
