Your claim and the claims that all white collar jobs are going to disappear in 12-18 months cannot both be true. I guess we will see.


It's possible to automate the pointless stuff without realising it's pointless.


Made me think of this.

Imgur is banned on UK.

I recommend using https://catbox.moe/ which can even use remote-links so pasting the imgur link in it can also work.

It's the other way round, Imgur banned UK access so that they wouldn't have to worry about the UK's stupid, authoritarian Online "Safety" Act.


The question is: did the fake numbers make any difference? Were the management decisions based on them better or worse?


I think they can both be true. Perhaps the innovation of AI is not that it automates important work, but because it forces people to question if the work has already been automated or is even necessary.


Well, if a lot of it is bullshit that can also be done more efficiently with AI, then 99% of white collar roles could be eliminated by the 1% using AI, and essentially both were very close to true.
