It's an economic bubble, and you're already talking about the "next" AI race? This stuff just keeps getting more ridiculous. People aren't losing their jobs to AI; people are losing their jobs to the chaotic palpitations of an economy getting jerked around by "business leaders" who have investors instead of customers. The managerial class were already doing a poor job to begin with, and now that they can outsource their thinking to a Reddit-educated agent who schemes and hallucinates, we're expected to believe that the competition and demand for excellence will become even fiercer. 

When you say that "[errors often tied to rounding and calculation mistakes] should unsettle every executive who has casually dropped chatbot-generated numbers into a deck," you are telling us that there are executives who wilfully drop made-up BS into slide decks, and those are the people redefining the future of work now. I would submit that the writing is on the wall for people like that, and the pain that they (and the rest of us) will feel from the pending correction will only become greater the longer they are financially insulated from the consequences of this short-sighted decisionmaking. I would think that anyone who shows such reckless contempt for his responsibilities would rightfully belong on the street, selling pencils from a cup... not setting KPIs for those of us who actually have to deliver in order to eat. 

Contrary to your penultimate paragraph, the responsible answer is loyalty: loyalty to the American worker. Sooner or later, people will figure that out, and they will be the ones to whom the future belongs.
