    I feel like an AI could easily replace some basic scripted jobs one Tier-1 helpdesk, but anything beyond that is diminishing returns

      “basic scripted jobs” can replace CEO/C exec/HR too this has nothing to do with it now.

        No, a basic scripted jobs cannot replace HR. Maybe they can supplement some functions of management or HR type jobs.

        Tier-1 helpdesk though - for example for some ISP’s - literally work from a script. They have a fixed set of questions or workflows they can answer, and aren’t supposed to deviate from such.

        Think “Have you restarted your modem? What lights are showing? etc”

      This sounds good just saying it but in practice it’s not possible for AI to fully replace these types of jobs.

      At least not yet.
