Agree, and "defer" can mean organizationally as in needing someone else's input, knowledge, support, buy-in...vs. running an autocratic hierarchy, which the weak and stupid prefer. Defer also means acknowledging the value and contributions of others and compensating them accordingly.
If I had to boil a lot of the churn in the water about AI, it's by stupid people trying to sell even stupider, desperate people the idea the immense knowledge of the earth (or even that of their accounting or customer service practices) will be within their grasp and they won't need others anymore. Of course, some say great cut headcount, because they didn't understand the work others do in the first place.
While most won't fully take an approach as extreme, and any AI use will likely be more organic, there will be outliers who receive the bulk of the press.
Saying you don't need X position in early 2025 based on the state of AI is like declaring in 1996 libraries are dead.
