Instead of an automated replacement of human personnel, the current corporate landscape
is experiencing the phenomenon known as "worklop." This occurs
when employees use generative AI tools without proper supervision or technical expertise,
producing a massive volume of texts, reports, or code of mediocre quality or
riddled with structural errors. Far from dispensing with professionals, companies are
being forced to hire or reassign specialized humans with the sole function
of auditing, hunting down, and correcting the "hallucinations" and inconsistencies of the machines.
AI will not destroy jobs across the board, but rather redefine the nature of
professional roles. Those under real threat of disappearing are those
agencies or companies whose business model depends exclusively on charging for
mechanical, repetitive, and low-value-added tasks that a language model can structure and
solve in a matter of seconds.
In the medium term, we will witness a thorough cleansing and purging of the technology ecosystem. Hundreds of applications, secondary tools, and startups that currently operate simply as a "cosmetic layer" or wrapper built on top of third-party APIs will go bankrupt when large infrastructure companies cut subsidies and adjust prices to the true cost of computing. The market will gravitate toward the permanence of two main trends: on the one hand, AI seamlessly and natively integrated into the software that is already part of everyday workflows (operating systems, development environments, and database engines); on the other hand, and with increasing force, open-source and local architecture models. These local solutions will allow users, professionals, and developers to maintain complete control over their data and run advanced processes on their own hardware, achieving true technological sovereignty without relying on a credit card or a monthly cloud subscription.
