This conversation is important but mostly they highlight transactional and most visible examples.

I can tell you even at one higher level of abstraction, this is happening a lot --

A business analyst supposed to ask discovery questions.

A project manager supposed to list risks and assumptions and a timeline.

A consultant expected to outline a new proposed solution and the pros and cons and trade offs.

An architect supposee to present and defend a solution design -- and the change review board supposed to ask questions to validate it.

All of them are lobbing slop grenades at each other -- just packaged in normal / human-looking formats like excel and word and powerpoint and email -- but slop nevertheless with minimal to zero value add by the human, thanks to proliferation of copilot (among others).

We are hastening the rot.

This is productivity theater.

This is where some of the 10x engineer and AI taking jobs is happening I am afraid.
