How much of the current usage is productive work that's worth paying for vs personal usage / spam that would just drop off after usage charges come in? I imagine flooding youtube and instagram with slop videos would reduce if users had to pay fair prices to use the models.
The companies might also downgrade the quality of the models to make it more viable to provide as an ad supported service which would again reduce utilisation.
For any "click here and type into a box" job for which you'd hire a low-skilled worker and give them an SOP to follow, you can have an LLM-ish tool do it.
And probably for the slightly more skilled email jobs that have infiltrated nearly all companies too.
Is that productive work? Well if people are getting paid, often a multiple of minimum wage, then it's productive-seeming enough.
Another bozo making fun of other job classes.
Why are there still customer service reps? Shouldn’t they all be gone by now due to this amazing technology?
Ah, tumbleweed.
