As we've all noted, you can replace CEOs with AI. All those giant paychecks could go to shareholders, or (gasp!) to workers. No hit to productivity, no decrease in quality.

But the other stuff, the other jobs that were going to disappear, most of them haven't and won't, at least not for years or decades. The tech's just not that good. Computers keep advancing, sure, just like they have for the past half century.

Was ChatGPT impressive? Kinda, maybe, but it doesn't actually make my life better. Or worse. The end.
