So they're literally saying it's a busy box (see image) while simultaneously saying it will replace large swathes of human labor. Deeply unserious.
what is this an anarchist diy fidget spinner?
Large swathes of human labor is spent on busy work, because improving society would have untold and unprofitable consequences for the current regime.
What I'm getting at is that it's something given to babys to make them feel like they're doing something. In the case of AI, it's sold to CEOs as a way to automate labor, when it really just produces worthless dogshit that appears to be useful to the untrained eye. The busy work should absolutely be automated and people should be freed from drudgery but these planet-destroying toys controlled by corporations are not the way to get there.
Capitalist apologists will tell you that all of this busywork is economically necessary, critical even.
