I frequently get the sponsored messages, "Your skills seem to be a great match for this position that teaches machines to do your job! Would you be interested in learning more?!"

It's the Associated Content of the 2020s. It's going to go the way of content farms, but a lot of people are going to be chewed up and spit out along the way.

"For less than you can live on, while you still can?" Translators have been seeing these jobs for a couple of years now. Python programmers, too, last year.

Yeah I got recruited for one line that. An obscene amount an hour—I was skeptical but got the fuck out when I heard what it really was. It was just labeled “writer” at an office about 50 miles away. I was going to teach an AI modeling software program. Fuck that noise

LinkedIn has always been kind of atrocious on many levels (and unfortunately necessary for so many), but their allegiance to AI has propelled them into the "putrid" category. Offering us SO MANY WAYS to dinosaur ourselves. Absolutely gross. (And they gamify it--get a banner!--to entice folks.)

Much like how that Amazon "Just Walk Out" technology at stores turned out to just be a bunch of employees in India working really hard, a bunch of AI-generated text right now is just underpaid writers being forced to "fix" AI content.

Actually AI is exactly that dream of not having to work for income anylonger (including another system of financial support like UBI e.g.) so one could use the lifetime for the better - more social engagements, more education, more environmental engagement, more 'fun activities'.

Don't worry, the higher level human only jobs are right around the corner.
Or wait, is it #ai won't replace you, a human (making less) using AI will?

Why is this even necessary? They have books dating back a few centuries to plagarize, and free stuff on the net to steal. There is a story in here somewhere about a basic failure in AI learning. Namely, that it is incapable.
