Trey Goff calls it 'The Sort'. The labour market has been quietly separating people by cognitive ability for decades. In the sixties your local mechanic might have been genuinely brilliant. That guy is an engineer at Toyota now, on a lot more money. His argument is that AI doesn't lift everyone. It accelerates that separation. Give two people identical tools and one will learn faster than he ever has, while the other learns just enough to automate his job quietly and work an hour a week. Then the first one works out he can do the second one's job too, because it's a cron job and three prompts.
