AI should be assisting us, instead it's doing the job and it's us being an assistant to it.

If you're a manager and you ask a report to do something and they come back with a question, does that mean you're now their assistant?

I give agents the tasks, I answer their questions, I make choices about the tradeoffs in their plan, I supervise their implementation, I review their output, I have them walk me through things. In what way is this not delegating to them and managing their work, just like a more junior employee?
