a16z shared an article by Hebbia CEO George Sivulka, arguing that:
- While AI was expected to replace human labor, the reality might be the opposite: in certain scenarios, "humans are cheaper than software."
- Instead of simply eliminating jobs, AI is creating new demands for management, collaboration, and orchestration; the real challenge has become managing an "agent workforce."
- The article extends traditional human management experiences to future human-agent hybrid teams.
