My takeaway from this video by Nate B Jones : you need to learn to delegate tasks.

My plan is to treat AI as a contractor or freelancer that works for me —

BUT one that is easier to get them to do what I want because I'm not trying to convince a human to do work and "motivate" a human (with money, with praise, with threats?, etc ) because AI just does stuff.

The more a person can delegate and get AI to do for them, the more productive that person can be.

AI as a subcontractor is exactly how I use it. I get tired of trying to explain to subs how certain code works or is supposed to work in order for them to make changes. I can just feed the code to AI and tell it what I want. It's almost never right the first time, but it is much faster to get results with AI than with a random sub. Case-in-point, today a client complains about an error. Fed SQL code to AI and within 5 minutes, we had a fix in place for the bottlenecked query.

Most people get zero education, training, or experience in management. Even at RPI, a top engineering school, that wasn't part of the engineering curriculum. Add in the typical nerdiness social problems and the result is zero ability to manage people. Now more than ever, there's opportunity in being a manager and the people who ought to be taking advantage of it the most have to learn management now as a skill.
