  I think it remains to be seen if LLMs are even 25% as good at everything else as they are at coding.. which is fine, if they focus and stop promising the world. That alone is huge, if they let go of their egos about putting the entire white collar class out of work..

  Coding is a small minority of total generated tokens. It's easy swimming in tech waters all day to think Claude is the pack leader because it writes excellent code, but the reality is that tokens are overwhelmingly coming from OpenAI and Google doing mostly stuff like "Make this e-mail sound nicer" and "What's a cheap vacation spot with warm turquoise waters"

    > "Make this e-mail sound nicer" and "What's a cheap vacation spot with warm turquoise waters" Right but I think a lot of these use cases aren't replacing any jobs because it wasn't anyones job. It's just a little polish on existing work (did spell correction in Word kill jobs?) or the stuff that voice assistants have been promising for 10 years.

      Both of those things both were and are jobs. They're called secretaries and travel agents.

        Jobs that have already been killed is my point

          Together that's about four million American jobs so I'd disagree those jobs have "already been killed".
