Lots of people do all kinds of things that are not explicitly written down at their jobs. Those things cannot be tokenized, they cannot be taken in by AI no matter how intelligent and sophisticated it gets. They are judgement calls, made by real people, who think harder and bring more to the table than any machine, no matter how many FLOPS.

But, nonetheless, those jobs will probably disappear, and the machine will reorganize itself to maximize its self-legibility, making tons more money but becoming yet more shitty and inhumane in the process. Discarding the whole reason the jobs exist in the first place (stuff like Value and Service — oh excuse me, sorry, meaningless cost centers to be optimized).

Sort of like how Radiologists do all kinds of important shit, that gets entirely hand waved away in this think-piece as 99% automatable. Yeah, sure guys, the radiologist — actual doctors for fucks sake — I’m sure he is nothing but a warm body between the patient and the computer, signing paperwork and collecting cheques.
