MODERATORS
Sounds more like HR and middle management should be replaced with AI, if there were that many unneeded employees in a department.
Management is historically a job done by the elderly and infirm. Capitalism elevated these positions to positions of power rather than support.
Ideally advanced prediction algorithms would liberate these people from the burden of management work and allow for them to live off the surplus value created by the increase in worker productivity that those algorithms help enable.
In Western society though, management isn't seen as a job for those who can't work, and is instead a position of power granted to those who refuse to work and wish to extract that surplus for themselves. So we see this relationship that should exist being inverted and a self-cannibalization of productivity as the unproductive managerial class turns the tool of their own destruction upon the very workers that support them.
