It doesn't matter what LLMs can and can't do well: all they have to do is do stuff a person does well enough for the price of the tokens they consume to make that person's occupation vanish if it's cheaper - and it almost always is. The metric companies use is cost, not quality. Because that's how capitalism works.
The bills are coming in now and much like all other cloud computing, it suddenly becomes much more expensive to do anything useful once you are dependent on it
It’s so easy to sucker capitalists with labor replacement schemes
I would be ok with robots taking our jobs if you could trust governments to pay us the taxes they charge the robots.
According to Startrek you need a deadly riot first before that happens.
I also like folks mentality that "once they see the real price of AI everything will be back to normal". As if the very same companies didn't get baited into becoming dependent on American cloud service providers like AWS to find themselves later paying out the fucking ass for them once they are dependent on them. Guess what ? THEY ARE STILL PAYING FOR IT, after more than a decade of being swindled. They will do the same with AI.
