I spent part of my day editing a very basic spreadsheet with some demographic data. Fifty-seven percent accuracy would actually increase my workload. It’s harder to hunt, find, and edit data than it is to just…enter it.

Larry Ellison envisions a surveillance state in which techbros rule. '“Citizens will be on their best behavior, because we’re constantly recording and reporting everything that is going on,” Ellison said in an hour-long Q&A during Oracle’s Financial Analyst Meeting last week.'

This is the third installment in the AI Killed My Job series, after tech workers and translators. It focuses on visual artists, illustrators, and graphic designers.
I received so many submissions from visual artists that I couldn't include them all, and, just a word of warning, some are very bleak.
