There’s a lot more to this article than the summary blurb would indicate.
It’s mainly talking about how regardless of actual quality of output, market forces around AI are now allowing manager types to require more output from “mid-upper” class workers, and it’s all shifting those positions downward to being treated more like assembly line jobs than they have been for decades.
Concerning trends, driven largely by market forces instead of any true quality or capability of AI.
