It's actually the reverse of what most people think. When compute power scaled up, the need for software engineers didn't shrink—it exploded. Same pattern will play out with high-end automation. As systems get more sophisticated, the demand for human oversight and quality control will shoot through the roof. More automation doesn't mean fewer experts; it means you need smarter people watching the machines.

There's nothing wrong with that. The more advanced automation becomes, the more it needs knowledgeable people to oversee it. History repeats itself this way; some people are still worried about being replaced.

Whoa, the logic is reversed now. I actually had it backwards before.

Damn, this logic is actually correct, everyone has it backwards
