Well, this is exactly it. We are being told to believe that the end of knowledge work is nigh but yet this thesis is built on a bed of nonsense. It is just hand-wavy science fiction that even some academics with impressive pedigrees are promulgating. I think it is irresponsible as there is no sensible dialogue going on so you have students freaking out and will decide what not to study based on this and people making career decisions based on this misinformation.
