Only work that has been demeaned into the grave could be supplanted by such boring and obsequious ghosts. The real work has always been elsewhere. Perhaps it’s time we follow where it takes us and leave the dead to their tombs.
Yes, this again.

Stuff I've read worth saving
Alberti, arguably the archetype of the Renaissance Man, writes that "no art, however minor, demands less than total dedication if you want to excel in it."
Similarly, the smart division of labor between humans and AI isn't clear at all right now. As the title of a great paper put it, there's a “jagged frontier” between the two kinds of intelligence. Put a task on the wrong side of that frontier and you'll get a suboptimal result - maybe even a lousy or catastrophic one.
The assertion that slop-makers will replace most jobs is a pathetic attempt at resurrection: only work that has been demeaned into the grave could be supplanted by such boring and obsequious ghosts. The real work has always been elsewhere. Perhaps it’s time we follow where it takes us and leave the dead to their tombs.
