Right now, at least, I haven't found an AI capable of replacing a software engineer. Ive seen AI that can easily replace basic programmers, however.

I also think AI can replace non-coding artitects, and probably most middle management type jobs (my company has 6 levels of management between the CEO and "individual contributors" in my area (8 counting inclusivity)).

That's a lot of management levels, and every level has to be paid more than the level they manage as a fraud disincentive. So that's a lot of money...

Can you explain the fraud disincentive bit? I feel like there's something obvious I'm missing, but why would a manager earning less than their reports make fraud more likely?
