Short answer: short term yes; long term probably not. All the dipshit c-suites pushing the “AI” worker replacement initiatives are going to destroy their workforces and then realize that LLMs can’t actually reliably replace any of the workers they fired. And I love that for management.

You’re referring to something that is changing and getting better constantly. In the long term LLMs are going to be even better than they are now. It’s ridiculous to think that it won’t be able to replace any of the workers that were fired. LLMs are going to allow 1 person to do the job of multiple people. Will it replace all people? No. But even if it allows 1 person to do the job of 2 people, that’s 50% of the workforce unemployed. This isn’t even mentioning how good robotics have gotten over the past 10 years.

You must have one person constantly checking for hallucinations in everything that is generated: how is that going to be faster?

Sure you need that at the moment, but you seem to be working under the assumption that LLM’s are not going to improve beyond what they are now. It is stiol bery much in the infancy, and as the tech matures this will be less and less until it only requires few people can manage LLMs that solves the tasks of a much larger work force.
