I appreciate the insights here.

The author grazes something I’ve been thinking about for a while while watching LLMs evolve along with their uses: will this tool result in more significant work being accomplished or just more…work in general.

By that I mean it accommodates completing small well documented projects well but seems to flounder on larger more meaningful work.

We already have a problem with junior/mid tier knowledge workers not scoping their efforts effectively and just doing work for works sake. Will the ease of completing small but ultimately useless work result in more of this?

Not a jab at LLMs really. More our propensity to miss the forest in our rush to view a tree.
