You describe the "fake email jobs" theory of employment. Given that there are way fewer email jobs in China does this imply that China will benefit more from AI? I think it might.

Are there fewer busy-work jobs in China? If so, why? It's an interesting assertion, but human nature tends to be universal.

  • It could be a side effect of China pursuing more markets, having more industry, and not financializing/profit-optimizing everything. Their economy isn't universally better but in a broad sense they seem more focused on tangible material results, less on rent-seeking.

As China’s population gets older and more middle class is this shifting to be more like America?

I really don’t know and am curious.
