AI is the popular cover excuse for layoffs.
I can’t think of a single job that modern AI could easily replace.

I know a handful of digital marketers, that work for different marketing firms - and the use of GenAI for those tasks have exploded. Usually tasks which they either had in-house people, or freelancers do the work.
Now they just do it themselves.
You're right except you're missing the point
Do you think entry-level workers are handling high stakes projects? no, they're handling low stakes projects. Or they're generating a bunch of options, 90% of which are throwaway, which a higher skilled worker is evaluating/editing/giving input on, and then coming up with something for the higher stakes project.
Except that now, the higher skilled worker doesn't need the junior worker to generate the options or implement their edits, they can have an AI do it. And for low stakes projects, they can use the AI and call it a day.
