    I hate to say this but I think AI is being under-hyped. It’s going to change white collar jobs like automation and outsourcing did to factory jobs. More specialized white collar roles will be there sure, but knowing how to get them and what to go to school for isn’t um, scaleable.

      it just googles shit. its not even ai. i dont give af about white collar crackers and their fake jobs but i am not convinced ai will actually replace many jobs. we’ll just be constantly threatened with it so we dont ask for raises. have you been thru an AI drivethru? ai cant even properly take a fast food order. imagine if ai was a real person, who couldn’t even take an order at mcdonalds properly, and all the authority figures in your life were telling you “better watch out for that guy, he’s coming for your job!”

      The Internet changed things too, but there was still a huge bubble. The article is not about the impact on jobs or our lives, but on the question, if all the investments in AI will eventually be profitable or not.

      Literally how will it do that, though? LLM’s literally don’t do anything that they are claimed to. What exactly can they automate?
