Exit the knowledge economy, enter the creative

It is certainly true that in a world where AI takes over for anything requiring any strict cognitive reasoning or knowledge-based expertise, what we're left with are the "soft skills" the article hand waves as creativity, curiosity, courage, compassion and communication. I would suggest that it will be difficult for a large company to justify all those jobs for people with negligible physical and cognitive abilities, but high abilities in creativity, curiosity, courage, compassion and communication. This fanciful scenario will run up against a practical consideration of a company finding profit in the output of their thousands of creative, curios, courageous, compassionate, and communicative employees. It would make for a good Disney movie, though that script could be written by an AI, and the animations could be done with AI.
