> people with smarter assistants are indeed deluding themselves by thinking they're necessary

If they were not necessary then they would not be in a higher up position would they?

Yes. You can't be rendered useless by tech if tech is there for your benefit. (Though you can be harmed by tech if it is harmful or someone uses it against you for own benefit as part of obsolete dog eat dog society dynamic.)
