Nah, thats just a side effect. The primary purpose of AI is being a hype object that companies can use to inflate their stock. I like how this blogpost explained it https://pluralistic.net/2025/06/30/accounting-gaffs/
The labor market effect will be quite short lived. LLMs as a replacement to human labor will be gone before long simply because they will ruin any company, government or project that relies on them. Its a sort of natural selection.
I’m 12 and this is deep
I think in a non market economy I would still work on language models. It’s cool that a machine can hold a conversation.
It’s not the purpose of LLMs to lower human skills’ value, it’s just the inevitable outcome.
Transcriptionist? Industry died with good voice recognition 10-20 years ago.
Ditch digging shovel crew? Dramatically de-valued with the advent of the steam-shovel…
and on and on… The theory goes that it gives people more free time, but the way wealth is distributed it is dividing people into those with jobs serving the wealthy and those who live on handouts.
I think: non-stigmatized “handouts” for everybody are the way of a brighter future. UBI FTW.
Go outside. Touch grass. Talk to humans.
Talking to a hallucinating machine rots your brain:
I do those too! That’s where the ideas for new architectures, datasets, and training tweaks come from! Math is fun, and it’s fascinating that math can talk sometimes.
Edit: And I see now that we’re editing messages after people reply? Rude, no? Designing a hallucinating machine certainly doesn’t rot your brain.
Yeah, I also talk to ChatGPT sometimes, fully knowing that it’s a flawed machine and that it’s for my amusement. It’s incredible that it can do that! Just like with wireless communication, which I thought was impossible growing up. Like, holy shit, we’re living in the future, why not enjoy it a little? I don’t even think a conversation spans more than six messages tops. It’s amusing, but not that amusing if you can see right through it.
I don’t know what OP is on about but they seem to be on a crusade. They’re citing articles about getting advice from it and having it think for you, totally missing the point of having fun. Like, if you’re against AI, at least give better arguments that address why, instead of throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks.>
Not entirely true. This works only for unskilled labour, meaning anyone who is not skilled in lying and cheating your way into a management positon. Or poor people.
that’s the point of every technological development lately
The sole purpose of all tools ever created is to lower the value of human skills.
LLM’s are hyped but have some value as a tool.
Only tool I see is you. Ai apologist get blocked.
Stop living in a dumbass fucking filter bubble.
Blocking is for people who are abusive, not people who coherently express a point slightly different then the one you made.
And they are literally unquestionably and objectively right. Literally every single tool ever created was made to reduce the amount of labour it takes to do a task, which reduces the value of human labour. It’s called automation. Read Karl Marx if you think you’re such a leftist, he’ll explain it you.
I don’t understand the wild eyed hate for a spell checker on steroids. LLMs predict the next word like the phone keyboard you use every day.
Hate the hype, not the tool.
Please do me next. I hate it when people reply to me with dumb shit like that, missing the entire point, as I’ve seen with your other comments.
No tools in your shed— yet you curse the rising sun for stealing your craft.All the world’s a stage and here you are playing pretend middle management with racist pile of linear algebra. Adorable.
Here ya go. Learn how to write without getting your hand held by a synthetic text extruding machine that guzzles more water than Ai fanboys slurping corporates sloppy seconds.
No it’s purpose is to censor information and trap humans into bubble where the only options will be corporate locked chat or physical book. After that cut the books by lobbying for replacing public libraries with chat ( because it’s cheaper ) and leave humanity with nothing. Look how they pressure education now. They want every human to speak with robot so they can control us. It’s not about robot being good or wrong it’s about you reading what it prints and puttng it into your brain so it melts it.
