I'm tired of arguments like this. If AI is helping you do work that you would have otherwise have had to pay people to do, then it is replacing white collar work.

The goal posts are becoming more narrow and these posts are becoming more frequent. It is almost like a therapy session for those facing an existential crisis while they continue to train the very thing that will replace them by giving it more training data to do their work.
This is a bit tricky, though. You could say the goalposts for self-driving cars are becoming narrower, but some things require complete automation to make a significant change.
That's because in the 1% of cases it fails it could result in someone dying. In fields where there isn't the same level of risk or regulation involved it shouldn't be as resistant to change.
Replacing work does not neccessarily mean replacing workers.
