The doorman fallacy in the age of AI

The post applies Rory Sutherland's "doorman fallacy"—reducing a complex job to its most visible, automatable task—to jobs affected by AI, noting that automating code overlooks the product management, architecture, hiring and coaching a senior developer also does. It argues that asking the right questions will become more important across disciplines impacted by AI, since humans offer intuition and cross-domain connection even if AI has the edge in compute and context. It was inspired by Lex Fridman's conversation with Ankur Moitra, Steven Brunton and Alex Kontorovich on mathematics in the age of AI.
