this works for small increments in skill or small shifts in adjacent skills.

imagine being an engineer educated in multiple instruction sets: when compilers arrive on the scene it sure makes their job easier, but that does not retroactively change their education to suddenly have all the requisite mathematics and domain knowledge of say algorithms and data structures.

what is euphemistically described as a "remaining need for people to design, debug and resolve unexpected behaviors" is basically a lie by omission: the advent of AI does not automatically mean previously representative human workers suddenly will know higher level knowledge in order to do that. it takes education to achieve that, no trivial amount of chatbotting will enable displaced human workers to attain that higher level of consciousness. perhaps it can be attained by designing software that uploads AI skills to humans...
