🧠 AI didn’t just replace jobs.
It rehired people — to train their replacement.
As companies deploy AI to write, diagnose, analyze, and edit, many professionals have already lost their full-time roles.
What comes next is more subtle: the same people are brought back as short-term contractors — not to do the job, but to teach AI how to do it better.
Doctors review AI-generated medical notes.
Lawyers check legal reasoning written by models.
Editors polish AI texts they once wrote themselves.
This is no longer “human + AI collaboration.”
It’s a transition phase: human as quality control for a system designed to outgrow them.
The work pays — for now.
But its purpose is temporary by design.
AI still makes mistakes.
And those already displaced are the ones fixing them — accelerating the moment when even that role disappears.
