For years, we've heard two major narratives about AI. One predicting the end of human work, the other dismissing it as hype. The truth is more nuanced, and more hopeful. From radiology to software engineering, the pattern repeats: as technology makes tasks cheaper and faster, demand for human creat What Everyone Is Getting Wrong About AI And Jobs
