café barista Kajetan Grzelczak sees it differently. “All the workers are pretty much safe,” he told the AP. “The ones who should be worried about their employment are the middle bosses, the people in management.”

This shows that AI can't do that job either.

Yes but it is training from this and as a result should get better. Ai was bad at everything until it stole the Internet and used it for training.

Mind you, stealing the internet worked because they effectively had the sum total of human knowledge as a training set. I don't think that there's nearly as much detailed data on the minutiae of running a business.
