I think the reality is that most "knowledge work" jobs involve being a wet meat interface between many different systems, other people, the physical world, etc.

I think there are very few roles where someone has a nice clean set of inputs and outputs and a clear connection between them. Software development (at times) is amongst the cleanest, because all the inputs are typically computer friendly, and I think that's why GenAI has had a lot of traction in our industry.

I therefore believe that even with incredibly advanced AI, there will still be a huge amount of work to because the world simply isn't as neat as people imagine it is. In other industries this will be even more true.
