An employee whose actual output and role have been meaningfully reshaped by working alongside AI tools day to day, describing a working style and productivity profile rather than any specific job title.

LORE & ORIGIN
Coined by workplace-productivity writers to describe a distinct category of worker between fully manual and fully automated roles.
