Wouldn’t that be some delicious irony? Never gonna happen but it would be quite funny if it did.

It's already happening - HR departments and recruiters are getting the ax in most of the major rounds of layoffs. An AI system that can write "nice" emails will replace at least half of HR jobs these days.

I think the "ladder climbers" aren't going to be fully replaced, but their ranks are already getting thinned, too.
