I hope that what comes from the LLM (I can't call it AI) revolution is a serious society-wide look and discussion about the false economy we currently live in and some ideas to change it. Let's face it. Huge portions of the population are performing unnecessary jobs in order to sustain themselves. Most products and services available to us today are unnecessary, unsustainable, destructive (economically and socially), and many represent a huge bubble which will hurt us down the line. LLM have exposed the sort of office jobs which have been automatable for years. We are killing ourselves mentally and spiritually, as well as the planet we live on, so everybody can drive to offices to respond to emails or to create carbon-copies of the same already existing products and hoping marketing makes the difference. | ||

> Most products and services available to us today are unnecessary, unsustainable, destructive (economically and socially Can you provide some examples of this to anchor your argument? I can sometimes come up with a few niche jobs, but not really that many overall. I can also see a lot of bloat in large orgs, but those companies are typically providing big value somewhere. I just want to understand which jobs we're talking about in this frequently-made argument. |
