Every day, someone in a position of power tries ChatGPT for the first time and goes “Holy shit! The computer is actually talking to me! This is the biggest thing since the invention of the telegraph!”
Then they start writing memos and press releases without actually spending the other 60 minutes using it that it takes the rest of us to realize “oh it’s actually just full of shit.”
The surest sign that someone’s job needs to be deleted is if they feel their job can be done by AI. If your work can be done by an LLM, you’re simply not doing work that’s worth doing.

I disagree. If anyone genuinely thinks that their own job can be done by an LLM, either:
A) that job should be streamlined out of existence
B) they have a fundamental misunderstanding of what an LLM is capable of achieving, such as if their job involves meaningless drudgery, and they don’t know enough about LLMs to realise that LLMs don’t even have the capacity for thought necessary to consistently follow simple heuristics without threatening nuclear annihilation.
ELIZA effect in full swing.
