Yes! It’s incredibly telling when someone speaks positively of the concept of work, it’s not noble, it’s not necessary, it’s not good. We’ve spent millions of years trying to cut labor out of existence, even before we were humans we were avoiding doing more. We invented cooking to avoid labor, less obvious labor, but still. The wheel wasn’t made so we could do more, it was made so the labor we needed to do was easier. And that’s just labor, work as we know it is a modern (relatively speaking, the timescale is massive) invention that made labor way worse.
LLMs aren’t actually useful for replacing any kind of labor, though, and too many idiots don’t even make the connection that the thing that makes them hate most of their lives is bad.
