AIs are great at generating bullshit, so if your job involves generating bullshit, you're probably on the chopping block.

I just wish that instead of getting more efficient at generating bullshit, we could just eliminate the bullshit.

That covers majority of sales, advertising and marketing work. Unfortunately, replacing people with AI there will only make things worse for everyone.


Some of the best applications of LLMs I've seen are for reducing bullshit. My goal for creating AI products is to let us act more like humans and less like oxen. I know it's idealistic, but I need to act with some goal.
