The more AI use cases I see, the more I think we've been asking the wrong question. Everyone asks what jobs can AI replace , a more interesting question might be what bottlenecks can AI remove?
Every growing company eventually runs into the same problem. The best people become the limiting factor and the best manager can only coach so many people. The best salesperson can only take so many meetings. The best founder can only make so many decisions. What's interesting is that a lot of successful AI products seem to be attacking that problem. Tools like Perplexity, GitHub Copilot, Rilla and Perplexity aren't necessarily replacing experts. They're helping expertise spread further across an organization. Maybe the biggest impact of AI won't be reducing headcount. Maybe it'll be making exceptional people less of a bottleneck. Curious if anyone else is seeing this trend.
