    As for the prospect that AI will enable business users to do more with fewer humans in the office or on the factory floor, the technology generates such frequent errors that users may need to add workers just to double-check the bots’ output.

    And here we were worrying about being out of work…

      Tediously fixing botslop all day is another kind of hellscape, but at least we won’t be homeless.

        Shitty idea: fire the workers anyway and gamify the product so the customer does quality control while earning fake money. If we’re feeling generous we may even award NFT monkeys to the harder working customers.
