For sure there are plenty of people that don’t produce any real value in their work, but that’s been the case since forever and they’re hard to weed out because in some ways their full time job is to ensure their ongoing employment.

As in most things, it’s a question of extent.

The most accurate statement you can make is that AI will make “most” office employees “more” efficient.

The thing is, this has been happening with every technological advance for hundreds of years.

There’s no evidence that “more advanced AI” is going to emerge in the next few years.

Sorry this is just plain wrong and there’s no evidence of this at all.

People have been saying this since the invention of the comptometer.

Anyone who’s job can be replaced by an LLM isnt producing any value.

For the rest of us it’s an incremental improvement at best.

You seem to be completely bereft of self awareness. It’s remarkable really.

Ooh good one. I wonder what the flat earth explanation for this is.

Anyhow, the persistent belief in something like a flat earth isn’t really a question of evidence.

To most people the way we understand the world around us is through the scientific method. As in I have not personally observed the results of testing vaccines on thousands of people to ensure that they are safe, but others have and others have reproduced their findings, so I’m happy to accept their published assertions.

However, there’s plenty of people for whom the scientific method is merely one belief system amongst many, and you can simply choose which group resonates with you.

Additionally science tells us all sorts of unpleasant things about ourselves that we don’t really want to hear. Why would I want to listen to “science” telling me I need to exercise more when this nice lady on facebook tells me that this crystal can realign my chakras and restore my health.

Yeah it really was pathetic.

Like they took a stand while it was cool, but then capitulated rather than face removal.

Sure but we don’t link to paywalled services do we.

Honestly these micro-dick edge lords renaming things has been a pleasant diversion over the last few weeks.

I quite like the name “Kraft Vegemite^TM presents New Australia”.
