  • Large-language models and computer tools in general are different to traditional machines, to be fair. For every spinning Jenny that you make, you need people to make it, people to service it, and people to operate it. These people all have jobs now. For every piece of software you make, you only need the one team who originally develops it. From then, it can be replicated endlessly with no extra human input. You also only need one set of people to “service” it (bug fixes, updates etc.) for the entire world, rather than one per factory or workplace

    (Also, I disagree with your premise and your assumption that jobs = good, but you probably don’t want to hear about it and I don’t want to type an essay :) )
