AI is going to displace a lot of white collar work as well - not just manual tasks.
As you point out, this is already well underway.
It took a long time to get AI systems up to human levels of competence - but not long for them to go from as good, to better.
Human error rates are soon going to broadly disqualify them from many tasks, that they currently perform.
Plus no phony days off called in and time wasted standing around flirting at the water cooler or the donut table in the break room.
You mean like trolling?
