AI can take the work, not the responsibility
Today I learned,
that the job is shifting from doing the work to judging it. AI can take the task but it can’t take the responsibility. It writes the code, and when that code breaks in production nobody is calling the model. They’re calling you. But that seat is not a free upgrade. You can only be accountable for something you actually understand. Sign off on work you don’t understand and you’re still the one who answers. You just won’t have an answer. So AI doesn’t make life easier. It moves the bar. Anyone can accept output that runs. Knowing when it’s wrong but looks right is the part you still have to earn.
