<p>AI has, is, and will continue to facilitate the automation of work done by humans.  Sometimes this may be an entire role.  Other times it may automate a particular part of their role, scaling their effectiveness.  Unless progress in AI inexplicably halts, the tasks done by humans vs. machines will continue to evolve.  Today&#8217;s episode is a speculative conversation about what the future may hold.</p>
