Will we become callable and consumable tokens?

Recently, a trending keyword is "token"
What is a token?
In the digital world, it is the smallest unit of information,
that can be called, combined, and priced.
Today I read an article,
Old Deng is not dead, he has just become a token;
In the past,
Old Deng was a person, a senior, a boss, an expert,
a whole set of experience and judgment;
Today,
Old Deng is broken down into smaller, lighter, cheaper,
more easily callable tokens;
In the past, we said,
Having many skills is never a burden; what you learn becomes your own;
Now people say,
As long as you extract the valuable parts of a person, that's enough,
the person themselves is no longer needed,
those with experience and qualifications (skills) are broken apart,
integrated into systems,
becoming tokens that can be called upon at any time,
what can be recorded can be organized; what can be organized can be learned;
what can be learned can ultimately be compressed into tokens.
A designer,
the designs he made, the plans he chose, the details he modified, are recorded,
becoming training material for models,
ultimately, his style can be generated with one click,
he is still alive,
but the most valuable parts no longer belong to him.
In the past, a person's value was "holistic,"
to utilize his experience, you had to hire him,
this era can break a person into "usable parts" and "non-usable parts,"
leaving the most productive parts,
while subjective feelings like emotions, fatigue, hesitation, etc.,
are discarded as noise.
Our current skills and experience,
as long as they can be recorded digitally, can be organized and refined,
these skill data are learned by models,
then generate a functional template, used with one click,
the skills of predecessors become tokens that can be called upon at any time,
and the person who possesses these skills,
is broken down, analyzed, processed, stored as tokens,
experience and techniques are retained for continued use,
physical individuals no longer need to be present on-site,
to leave valuable experience and skills,
people are discarded,
human value becomes tokens,
that can be called upon, shared, and utilized.
A person's life will gradually be digitized,
the hard work of a lifetime leaves only a string of numbered digits,
or a brief written summary,
valuable parts are stored as tokens,
remaining in the system to continue playing their part.
With the development of AI,
not only are jobs replaced,
but also years of accumulated experience and skills,
are turned into tokens and taken away.
Just thinking about it makes my hair stand on end—this is happening now.
We cannot stop the pace of technological advancement,
nor can we imagine what the future will look like,
technology brings convenience to life,
but it also challenges human value,
these are the two ends of technological development.
One day,
will we greet each other in the code world?
