In the work problems segment, Inger tells Jason all about her theory of why LLMs and AI are not going to take our jobs. Something, something Capitalism doesn’t want us to have no money, something. To support her theory, she leans heavily on David Graeber’s excellent book ‘Bullshit Jobs’ and of course, our friend ChattieG.

Comments by DGI volunteer Koshika Yadava:

They speak broadly about AI tools and how they use them in their research work. But around 58 minutes in, they delve more into BS jobs theory. They talk about the bullshit aspects of their work in Academia (which spoke to my personal experience and a lot of what David wrote about too). 

They discuss BS jobs within Academia and why they suspect that AI make BS jobs more efficient, potentially also creating more BS work. Inger is writing an academic paper on this, worth keeping an eye out for.
