So lllms probably aren't replacing everyone, but they are replacing some people.

Its always annoyed me that technology replacing and ruining people's livelihoods is seen as a normal and healthy part of society. "Hur hur you think we should still have telephone operators" how about we prioritize life over "progress".

We should have listened to the Luddites when we had the chance.

“There appears to be far less anti-AI sentiment in China (than elsewhere). Most people seem either positive, neutral, or mildly interested in AI,” said Shujing He, a Beijing-based senior analyst at advisory and research firm Plenum.
