FLIGHT RISK:85%HIGH RISK
[DIAGNOSIS]The fundamental premise of the role (managing prompts) is easily absorbed by actual AI tools or basic technical literacy, making it prime for cost-cutting during market corrections or maturity.
[05] THE BULLSHIT METRICS

[10] THE BURN WARD (UNFILTERED COMPLAINTS)
* The stark reality of the role, scraped from Reddit, Blind, and anonymous career boards.
"You don't need an employee sitting around writing prompts. You need them doing work, using AI as a supplement. That's what "iterating and previewing" is. You don't need to pay someone a salary to write prompts."
"My work is prompting and let it do its job, if I’m doing the work of 3 to 4 people, I get paid for prompting and letting it do the work, I get paid and 3 to 4 lose job."
