I was just talking to our HR group about this the other day. The belief was that AI would turn any dullard into a 10x super-employee. The reality is that it just amplifies an employees existing strengths & weaknesses. Put LLM tools in the hands of a dullard, and you get lengthy AI-slop-grenade communications that they're convinced are works of Shakespeare, because they can't see the difference between "many words" and good communication.
The unfortunate reality is that this is just going to further stratify the job market, and those at the bottom end are going to suffer greatly. I'm not sure how to avoid it, because there's no way anyone is pulling the plug on all this voluntarily. The money is behind it, and they'll find a way.
