The AI agents don’t appear to know how & where to be economically productive. That still appears to be a uniquely human domain of expertise.

So the human is there to decide which job is economically productive to take on. The AI is there to execute the day-to-day tasks involved in the job.

It’s symbiotic. The human doesn’t labour unnecessarily. The AI has some avenue of productive output & revenue generating opportunity for OpenAI/Anthropic/whoever.
