I mean, if intelligence capabilities don’t get meaningfully better than today, sure.
Every discussion I see here is working under “when they are another order or two of magnitude better than today.”
No one is saying masters are getting replaced today. But “you pay the x to look at the problem and know the y and know z” is literally just intelligence over complicated tasks. It gets replaced if these things get smarter. And there is not really a good reason to think they won’t besides “I don’t want them to” or “my identity is tied to them not getting smarter”.
