We have a lot fewer farmers now than we had had in the 19th century. Which is overall a good thing, because traditional farm labor sucked and had low productivity, but the people who are pushing LLMs don’t want to increase the population’s wealth, they want to impoverish it (kinda like what happened in the 19th century after farm labor productivity increased massively). And in contrast to increasing farm labor productivity, LLMs don’t even really do much that we really need, it’s practically useless for a lot of what it’s currently used for. LLMs are bullshit generators.
Though I guess it does shine a light on how many jobs weren’t really doing anything useful in the first place. Bullshit generators for bullshit jobs.
“Employees will use AI to do their jobs!” AI enthusiasts don’t seem to grasp that if AI can do your job, you’re not going to have a job any more.
Thats why farmers don’t exist, steel plows took em all out, similar for painters since cameras were invented.
