In the architecture and engineering fields (minus computer engineering) the boss is not going to place liability on AI when a design fails. The boss want's a human to take responsibility.

They barely afford to eat now. Wait until the market is flooded with unemployed, white collar employees.

"engineer" covers everyone from software engineers to field commissioning engineers. Obviously one is more readily replaceable than the other.

The business/finance side I think it is over-estimating. Sure there are absolutely areas that it will be able to play a very large role, but there is so much gray area when it actually comes to business accounting and finance that I think AI will still be very limited in what it can do. Hell, ERP systems can't even handle the variables and are constantly having to be worked around to accomodate things. Simple tasks like some a/p input or billing can be automated a lot for sure. Analytic positions absolutely will be hit hard eventually.

AI company says it can replace 80% of bosses.

Not for long honestly unless you’re talking about true field guys

I built some web content over the years but too lazy/busy to bake in the ever changing world of Section 508/ADA/WCAG compliance because it's such a pain in the arse and we always lack the time and budget to do it.
On a whim I asked it to look over the site and add a very specific level of compliance to it: WCAG 2.1 level AA.
Yeah it was that easy. This is the kind of "plumbing" that tech people need to look out for. There are certain things that it can just make happen in seconds you'd craft a project plan for and hire a an entire team to do.

LOL
In what system now does a single person assume liability for a company design?

One thing I've wondered about is what happens if AI screws something up (which it frequently does), then what? Using lawyers as an example, if your lawyer screws something up, you can go after his malpractice insurance. If AI screws up, you're just holding the bag, right? I guess a new insurance product would evolve for such a thing, but still a pretty big risk at the moment to completely trust AI.

Ah, the slave class as we will call them 
Pretty much all the jobs middle class Americans don't want to do because it is cheaper to hire laborers. Not really surprising.

Your question does not follow.

VERY true.

Same. I've tested several platforms (including those made specifically for lawyers) and they're currently operating around the level of a very junior paralegal when it comes to tasks like redlining based on playbooks I've created.
I'm sure they'll get better very quickly, but right now they're not replacing anyone.

I drew an extremely rudimentary floor plan onsite of our duplex.
Nearly illegible writing/numbering and loose doodles for the sink, appliances, tub, vanity, etc. Really just for me to understand as I was planning to transfer the info to a real floor plan ( I used to be an architectural draftsman).
The wife (no pics) got bored during the ride home and snapped a pic of my drawing and ran it through ChatGPT with a few statements regarding the property.
Fricking ChatGPT asked questions to verify the location of the rooms and then spit out a very comprehensive drawing in less than 15 seconds.
This was from a cell phone in the middle of the desert on I-40.

AI design engineer would be liable for the screw up and AI lawyers can sue each other and the winner gets paid out in AI crypto currency.

Alright I'll spell it out for you:
"Hey man, we need your design for so and so widget. Nobody is going to review your design and if it fails, the liability is on you. Good luck"
Youre trying to say nobody will put AI in that scenario.
I'm saying that scenario doesn't exist.

I think we are in agreement. That's why I was confused by your question.
