The more I see AI take over the world, the harder I have to look to not just view it all as this type of nonsense.
But really, how much of our work is meaningful and how much of it is taking efficient work and shoving it into preconceived notions of how efficient one "should" be and how much work one "should" be doing?
Would LLMs be consuming the world if people didn't need to fill the universe with noise for the sake of eating a meal and putting clothing on their body?

It just really gets me that LLMs are absolutely incredible. It's undeniable. They're amazing; as awe-inspiring in their capabilities as they are in the horrific crimes against humanity required to produce them. A venerable testament to our continued ability to repackage slave labor into more palatable forms
They're also super effective at quite a few things. Just... Not what we use them for. Isn't it shocking? The vast majority of our usage of AI goes against its strengths

@hazelweakly this cartoon is not an exaggeration. I just came across a tech company offering exactly this.
Hazel Weakly
@irenes oh absolutely, unfortunately.
Entire industries would be out of work if we actually just tried to do what's the most efficient and cost effective for everyone and benefited humanity over individual gain.
Insurance companies, gone; US tax preparation companies, gone; the entire concept of predatory loans, gone; the list goes on and on
Irenes (many)
@hazelweakly we've observed before that generating unnecessary paperwork in the hope people go away or mess up is the core business model of health insurance companies
we think that ties into your point about capitalism, heh
