I find it very interesting that in nearly all conversations I find something to the extent of “well doing $thething is actually easy, my main job is $useless”

Programmers: code always was the easy part, being relied upon is the hard part / architecture / aligning stakeholders Mathematicians: proving theorems was never like the important part, it’s “understanding” (without tangible output of any kind) Lawyers: well actually I don’t do anything besides being “accountable” Lab technicians: well actually I’m just logging what the robots did

And then “.. and a chatbot can’t do that!”.

Very interesting indeed.
