Yes we’ve known this about capitalism and automation for centuries. My point (that you’re ignoring) is that LLMs will not give us any kind of automation worthy of discussion in that context.
Except perhaps for shitty SEO recipe website automation.
Your point is intellectually dishonest. There are plenty of things LLMs effectively automate. These things excel at tasks like translations, transcriptions, and data analysis to give a few examples. The fact that there’s currently a bubble where people are trying to use LLMs for all kinds of silly things doesn’t mean there aren’t actual applications for these things. It’s the same story with the dotCom bubble that produced a bunch of noise along with real useful technology that underpins the internet today.
