Deep thinking work will not go away. From trades to tech. It'll change work for sure, but it's not going to obliterate workers jobs.

I'm no luddite, but I've seen enough rocky digital transformations to know that human beings don't operate like manufacturing pipelines. Automation and AI assisted automation will be harder to generally implement.

But what I do feel confident about is that there will be a large mass of consultants who'll sell and expensive dream to a lot of mid tier businesses. The next big flex for business IT will be to have a notch on your belt for a failed AI automation project.
