Yeah it's interesting. With no "busy" work there's no career path to maintain the people with the knowledge of how to design, build, operate and maintain the AI infrastructure. Who will know what Garbage Out is if they haven't spent a career doing the thing?
That's why AI exacerbates inequality between more and less experienced workers. More experienced workers will know what garbage to look out for and its manifestations in poorly cleaned data sets. Newer workers will just have to trust the AI did it.
Right and then forty years later everyonr with experience is retired and no one invested in newbies
