ChatGPT didn't end the knowledge economy, because it doesn't possess reliability, niche knowledge, and experience which is hard to put into words. Reliability, niche knowledge, and experience (pick two) are what get people get high-paying, stable, knowledge-based jobs, like legacy system engineer, sysadmin, and <thing> advisor.
Surface-level knowledge (which ChatGPT is good at) was already accessible by anyone who can do basic research, albeit slower. It wasn't a gated skill, so I can imagine some people achieved decent jobs from it, but most managers probably either did it themselves or assigned it to someone with a different job.
