Interesting how we’re using passive language here.

LLMs do not replace jobs, managers constantly try to increase profit. Managers and business owners try to replace people’s jobs via automation.

LLM companies actively try to convince managers and business owners that LLMs are capable of replacing humans in white collar jobs.

An LLM/AI will not replace you, or me.

A business owner or manager might. They also might use an LLM to make decisions.

But let’s not use language which anctively obscures the decision makers in this process.

I am self-employed and AI is taking my job. Or at least its owners are capturing the value of my work now.

Only chumps believe them when they say there’s not a choice. I haven’t seen a single manager take a pay cut for doing a layoff after their decisions.
