round · x · 2026-07-24
A quoted essay argues that the weak labor-market impact of AI is not best explained by a temporary lag or by vague AGI talk.
- The author says people are still failing to analyze LLMs as LLMs.
- The attached excerpt argues that large language models do not fit neatly into human-style error-catching systems.
- It also notes that nearly four years after ChatGPT, unemployment has barely budged, and some recent job-market turbulence may have causes other than AI.
