Ha! A guy that takes a cut for 'managing' an autodriving truck - which then drives itself - is very different. Because doctors and lawyers actually do work.

And to carry the analogy further, AI agents are now better than radiologists at analyzing images. But the AI agent works for/under the direction of the radiologist.

Why is that a model to aspire to? It makes me angry when I have to pay a doctor $100 for something stupid and trivial like a prescription for a vaccine.
