The back office jobs aren't exactly something to fight for. These almost universally suck because they are the alternative to automation. Humans digging ditches by hand instead of hydraulic equipment. There has always been downward pressure on this area. No one wants to have a back office. It's a pure cost center.

None of those tasks described requires AI, so why weren’t they extinguished before?

It was cheaper then trying to automate.
