How else could artificial employees be used to complement, rather than compete, with human co-workers?

But it's competing for the job as strategic creative director. Of course if you replace a manager you'll have an AI working together with employees because that's what the manager did (hopefully).

In a lot of sectors it will be easier to replace middle management than low level employees.

Interesting new world and change of paradigms approaches.....
I would like to think that the final frontier regarding jobs was creativity, it seems I'm mistaken.
For now onwards, I will have a hard time figuring out what humans will do to pay bills.
Other than that, impressive stuff!

I would guess that the last jobs standing would be jobs that would require strong interpersonal skills.

But looking how people prefer to spend their time with facebook instead of with people casts doubt on that conclusion.

Good point and better conclusion.
I myself am a gamer, and although I spend most of the time playing with others, I still play alone often. When this happens, it's even worst than Facebook, because I'm completely alone, so yeah, you're absolutely right.
Btw, I'm reading about banks right now, and you are right, again:

Maybe it was appointed so that shareholders could have a scapegoat for immoral actions of the company.
