Blackstone President and COO Jon Gray made this same point few months back. Any rule-based businesses, like accounting, legal, finance, will be completely disrupted by AI. 🎯 e.g. JPMorgan dropped proxy advisors for shareholder votes, replacing them with AI.

Rule-based work isn't a career anymore. It's a prompt. In every rule-based profession, humans are now the slow, expensive, error-prone option. Claude Opus 5 got 20 for 20 at 100% and wrapped each task in minutes, while 12 licensed CPAs landed anywhere from 0% to about 90%, with several running out the 3-hour clock.

AI may automate much of the routine work currently done by junior lawyers, consultants, bankers, and advertisers. "A chunk of what the people at the bottom of the pyramid were doing—what happens to that? The only thing you can say is that, if you have never worked at a law firm or at Bain, BCG, or McKinsey, you are probably not going to have a good idea of how this works."

This is simple conjecture. It will replace a lot of people with no leadership skills or experience. That's rhe majority of entry workers right there.

The inverse of this is more interesting: it's the chaotic parts of life and work that are where humans have the monopoly.

The more I look at the sheer physics of what we are building, the more obvious the “dark descent” becomes. We are entering an era of absolute back-end consolidation, and the species/civilization level sorting isn’t just a risk; it is the mathematical inevitability of the current capital structure. sutrani.substack.com/p/the-d…
