run AI-powered systems across all industries

Sooo...data scientists ? Isn't the focal point of all of this the realization that given time (most likely a lot less than people thought before gpt's) AI systems won't need human oversight ? Isn't this the goal of OpenAI ? This is why I think making comparison to whatever that was is wrong. Our current situation is too distinctive. We're being potentially freed up to do things other than cognitive tasks - by the rise of AGI, or maybe a very refined language model.

If someone using an AI-powered system is a data scientist (?) does that make someone using an electricity-powered system an electrical engineer?

I don't know. It's out of my scope that's why I'm asking. The infrastructure is there, the software is there and if not it soon most likely will be. What's left is to feed it domain specific data. To contribute somehow to a system like that I imagine you have to have a cognitive ability way beyond average. All the 'AI-' in front of job descriptions won't be in the ballpark of greasing cogs during the industrial revolution.
