AI is going to whack the mediocre middle of office workers

I'm always amused at how these journalists will make very confident and sweeping predictions about how thing X is going to do Y in the future; yet, I hear few stories along the lines of, "Brilliant journalist makes millions in the stock market after boldly predicting how X will affect Y".

I honestly don't know what AI will do to office workers, but I'm hopeful that it will whack the mediocre middle of media outlets, like business insider for one. Most of their articles already read like they were written by Chat GPT.

Or, there will only be a place for mediocre workers anymore, roles having been relegated to cleaning up AI work only to the extent required to get it working, or for a company to be able to say it still uses human labor rather than unsupervised AI.

“AI will replace X” - i am surprised this is still a thing. Does it still drive clicks as of June? What will the next click driver be? A new arc in the war in ukraine? US elections? A sudden realisation that ai is not there yet? A crypto currency comeback (we are seeing an uptick in crypto related news, albeit anaemic, perhaps a/b testing traffic). I am very excited about the upcoming media season and the kind of “engaging” developments it will bring.
