Except according to Graeber those jobs exist because leaders, companies, and society like having lots of employees doing this work for various reasons and we all more or less tacitly agree that the output of those jobs is useless and only exists because the last 50 years of productivity gains mean there isn't enough real work to keep everyone busy for 40+ hours 50 weeks a year.

> As well as about 90% of the education system.

There are multiple stories from actual teachers about kids and teens doing this today.

They don't use search engines or books, they ask an LLM.

Then 20 students get 20 different answers of varying quality and do ZERO validation that the answer they got is real, they trust the LLM implicitly.

90% of our education system is really just watching over the kids/teenagers so they don't cause trouble while parents are at work. I don't see AI doing that.

and helping them learn how to get along with each other

> It replaces all the David Graeber "bullshit jobs".

Those jobs were already replaceable to begin with? Isn't that already implied by their name?

Also, is it possible that the recent investment in LLMs have actually produced more bullshit jobs instead of decreasing them?

:/ there's a lot more to the education system than just the content

Even just the content needs a deciding mind to prioritize. If lesson plans were enough, education would happen through VHS tapes.
