The job "consolidation" is something I have talked about before. Back in the day, a manager had a secretary and an analyst to aid them (along with others) and now they have to do it all by themselves. All jobs are like this, and then life too.

All stuff our ancestors handled by going up to a counter and talking to a human.

A company in Sweden (Klarna) fired a heap of people to use AI instead. The AI worked well enough, but customer satisfaction plummeted and now they are rehiring. However, in the future, there will be generations comfortable with AI, and anxious about talking to real people - so the AI will come back soon enough.

I don't think we are currently on average very good at evaluating our own lives. We go outside of ourselves looking for answers, but we are terrible at using our experience to find our own. We all want a pill to get better.
