This is even more true for construction workers and cooks. The actually, actually skilled, I suppose.

Also, an AI still can't come close to replacing either interns or juniors—but, I suppose we're just supposed to act like shouldering more work cleaning up after an AI that can't learn rather than hiring someone up to the task is progress.
