Agreed on what the actual ****.
This is reflected of a pretty fundamental failure to understand what historians do, because LLMs do basically none of my job and are completely incapable of most of it.
But they have the ears of the people that write the checks, so this is real bad news. 1/

It's like every website, app and piece of software has developed its own Clippy. Clippy is following me around every day from Google to Zoom to Adobe Acrobat, telling me it looks like I'm trying to exist and would I like help with that

Even if the technocrats were right about AI replacing all jobs (they’re not), notice they never pitch any vision for what happens to humans. “No one has to work anymore” sounds great, but the only version of it where we’re not sleeping under bridges is one where these guys pay their fucking taxes
