The brutal part: they made the senior writers spend their final 6 weeks "knowledge transferring" to the AI system

I’ve said this for decades: The future is transfer learning from humans to machines until the point where bootstrapping new behaviors doesn’t need a human

This is so interesting. My work is having us do a AI hackathon where we have to attempt to do our daily job only using AI tooling. No writing any code yourself, no manual input besides to the agents. I guess I should prepare myself for the inevitable conclusion of this.

Interesting perspective, I honestly had not thought about it this way. I work on problems around knowledge transfer but always from the angle of people leaving or transitioning roles where the goal is to preserve knowledge so it does not get lost. Framing it as people effectively training the system that might replace them feels pretty brutal.
