In ca 1995 fiction, the upsell was human ractors occasionally coming in, temporarily substituting AI on heiress class instances. Sounds pretty much spot on for one of those coveted post AI jobs...

Well, that was the catch in the book - you accidentally end up with a plebeian girl getting a smart book meant to educate aristocratic children which includes a connection to a human tutor. The girl grows up into a smart independent person & sets on a quest to reconnect with the tutor, which effectively became her mother.

Then there is a big bunch of local children that might have not otherwise survived an ongoing civil war & famine - instead they are saved and educated by a mass produced purely AI driven version of the same smart book. End result - very effective and quite ruthless child army the main character ends up leading.
