> When the dishwasher was invented, everyone thought the human dish washer would be obsolete. And yet, restaurants still employ dish washers because they are much more efficient and thorough than a dishwashing machine.

This is a good example of both job destruction and job retention by technology.

Job destruction - the total number of potential hand dishwasher jobs has reduced because the vast majority of commodity dishwashing is machine driven.

Job enhancement - machine dishwashers just can't produce the quality/dexterity of hand dishwashers.

I feel like generative AI will do the same. It will replace a large number of commodity jobs - editors, translators, copy producers, website designers, app prototypes, paper pushers but it will also reveal the value of skilled producers.

Too risky to let chatGPT write code for your backend that destroys your production database and crashes your company forever.
