everything AI is doable manually. the point is AI saves us mental toil (maybe).

You will not be replaced by AI. You will be replaced by person using AI!

Many people see AI as a replacement for the human, but current-gen AI is in my view a replacement for the hammer. It's a tool that needs to be wielded with skill for good results... And when that happens, the productivity can be truly amazing.
