@rayotron I know, I know, it’s fun to see middle management squirm a bit, but given the gigantic fustercluck that generated-“AI”-created bug reports, task tickets, and general “here’s what needs doing and who should do it” sorts of tasks has been in my own job, I doubt the “gen-AI eats middle management” timeline is any better than the one where gen-“AI” eats all the software people.

Good point. It's a profound shake-up for sure, for everyone. People thought the arts were safe and the last bastion of human creativity. Well, nope.
