"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

You clearly present the hypothesis that the the "why" is because these happen to be the best paid jobs and therefore people take them which is a societal problem.
Please can you explain why the "why" isn't important and you then go onto give the "why" as "societal problem"?
Perhaps it might be useful to ask "why are these the better paid jobs in these regions?" because that adds additional context which might, as you indicate the need for, start pointing in the direction of solutions to this problem other than just broadly gesturing to everything going "society".
"Societal problem" is not the "why", it's the "how".
