  • AI tools boost low performers over experts, narrowing skill and pay gaps.
  • Falling wages for top freelancers prove the downsides as AI democratizes access.
  • Traditional metrics like credentials may decline in favor of creativity.

Democratizing Productivity

New studies suggest AI secretly redistributes power in elite professions previously dominated by highly paid superstars.

Across creative writing, coding, consulting, and more, research shows new tools disproportionately help novices over experts by essentially modifying talent.

Where industrialization hammered artisan livelihoods, large language models risk deskilling lucrative knowledge work despite boosting overall productivity.

AI and the Corporate Revolution

So far, falling wages for top freelancers on Upwork prove the pattern’s downsides as AI democratizes access to complex capabilities.

Yet levelling disparities between and within roles could also limit income inequality if displaced experts spread know-how across industries.

By transforming poor performers into decent collaborators, the technology makes space for promoting underdogs over inefficient star worship.

Redefining Success and Opportunity

For now, executives still prefer specialized human intelligence. But cost arbitrage tempting employers to replace high-priced veterans with junior augmented talent seems inevitable.

If and when the shuffling sweeps white-collar work, traditional metrics like credentials and experience may decline in favour of newly elevated behavioural strengths like creativity.

In time, the very idea of professional exceptionalism could lose meaning if machines match the output of extraordinary individuals through computational replication.

So, as much as artificial intelligence stands poised to democratize expertise, the collective boost risks erasing hallmarks of human distinction that the industry has long rewarded.
