As for what you wanted to communicate and nobody else is engaging with directly at the moment, I agree there's a kind of Moravec's Paradox realignment going on where it turns out the guy that tiles bathrooms is pretty hard to replace but that giving the carefully-formatted impression you understood what $academic is on about is a simple word substitution exercise that maybe doesn't say that much about about generalised learning skill.
But nobody hires students to continue to be undergrads, and I think middle management should be the least worried of the lot. They still get to do actual Powerpoint presentations to make the unquantifiable bits of their job look quantifiable and explain whose fault x is, their true function is still to be a human that can do the manipulation and that upper management can reward or blame as suits them, and ChatGPT guilelessly disregarding the big boss instructions to satisfy amused end users is a pretty good indication that even basic functioning as a middle manager is nearly as hard as tiling!
