    I don’t remember what book it was, but in some sci-fi future genetically engineered pigeons took the jobs of secretaries and other computer tasks. I could see ChatGPT taking our jobs even if it’s terrible and fails at tasks all the time, the capitalist will at least be relieved he isn’t giving money to the poors.

      That’s likely an inevitable part of it. Labor is the most expensive part so removing the human, and using AI once it becomes sophisticated enough to train pigeons and just shrugging about the error rate (those infernal pigeons! We’re doing the best we can to train them but alas! Errors!) despite what the error rate does. Just wait til your prescription for insulin is approved via pigeon and instead of insulin you get heparin.
