Am I the only one who is super skeptical about “AI will take all jobs” tales?
I mean LLMs are great tools don’t get me wrong, but how do people extrapolate from LLMs to a world with no more work?

I have been using LLMs, they are fun to use and decent as code assistants. But they are very far of meaningfully replacing a human. People extrapolate "LLMs can do some tasks better than humans" to "LLMs can do everything as well as humans" > but how do people extrapolate from LLMs to a world with no more work? They accept the words of bullshitters that are deeply invested in Generative AI being the next tech boom as gospel. "Eat meat, said the butcher"

- surgical_fire 1y agoI can't measure in time. I think they are multiple breakthroughs away of replacing a human.
