For sure there are plenty of people that don’t produce any real value in their work, but that’s been the case since forever and they’re hard to weed out because in some ways their full time job is to ensure their ongoing employment.
As in most things, it’s a question of extent.
The most accurate statement you can make is that AI will make “most” office employees “more” efficient.
The thing is, this has been happening with every technological advance for hundreds of years.
Companies are only a few years away from being able to fire the majority of their office workers and replace them with AI.
If you think I am wrong, you fail to understand office work or the rapid pace at which AI is advancing.
Our technological advancement is on the precipice of outpacing our ability to adapt to it; that ends very badly for most people.
Sorry this is just plain wrong and there’s no evidence of this at all.
People have been saying this since the invention of the comptometer.
Anyone who’s job can be replaced by an LLM isnt producing any value.
For the rest of us it’s an incremental improvement at best.
Well, that’s the problem right there, isn’t it, that a lot of jobs don’t actually produce any real value.

I am talking about a more advanced AI, not even true AI. LLMs are Temu AI, the name brand stuff is going to wreck the workforce.
There’s no evidence that “more advanced AI” is going to emerge in the next few years.
