Sad to think how much human capital is wasted this way. Edit: especially in low-wage or less-developed countries where this loss hurts the most.

Some 'slave wage' person spending their time to produce crap that wastes other people's time. All to increase a number on some CEO's dashboard.

Same workers could instead be building actually useful stuff, up their skillset, contribute to their country's culture, etc etc.

Instead the same workers would be unemployed if they stopped doing these kind of jobs all together. There are few options in the Philippines, and BPO is actually a well respected career and skillset that is worthwhile to refine. There is very little “etc. etc”; especially if you’ve relied on this skillset for years.

The worst consequence of LLMs is the reduction in the amount of out of touch LinkedIn posts from executives.
