How long before a self-owned AI company that does every administrative job better than humans because it trained on human behavior for 100 years?
What do you think an entity like that would be capable of?
A bit off-topic, but I'd be fine with that. The more mind-numbingly dumb work that computers can do for us, the less time we have to spend doing it ourselves. Administrative jobs holders disagree with this, but so did every person whose job and livelihood was replaced by automation, ever. UBI (universal basic income) is the only answer that will save all of us from starvation when automation eventually replaces us too.
I agree with everything in your post but the simple truth is administrative jobs are the modern equivalent of fluff court positions handed out to the 2nd+ born children of nobles and the modern owner class will never give up that eternal source of easy wealth.
Which is also why they fight so hard to keep anyone not in the owner class out of management.
