Great article; though I am somewhat confused about this line:
> and it would mean higher aggregate demand but lower effective demand since most people would make too little to afford anything.
I don't really understand the distinction between aggregate and effective here and the only hits I found searching it up were in relation to marxian stuff.
The cornucopia attitude many men have when they can trade effort for risk explains some of the gender gap in AI use. Possibly the Stan and Wendy Dynamic too - delegating tasks leaves one for more supervisory maneuvers. Still, that's screwing with my head - why is it so stark and so weirdly so ?
Most of it is still at the policy level. Hopefully, the fear shocks and the current effect of Twitter becoming a political-epistemic supply chain will take shape enough to buoy anything the AI may/not do. The political marriage of the charismatic and the wonk might make the attention economy a net good - might.
The Republicans of the world will scaremonger once someone asks ChatGPT about switching genders. Going to also be the next Duolingo in terms of force-secularizing good, clean, Christian Muslima.

Excuse the rest of the juvenilia:
Technology renegotiates with Nature what reality ought to be. But what does an Oracle in the Machine to-go actually accomplish socially other than deliberate mass lobotomy (of mostly men, prolly - anecdote: my friend had a year of using ChatGPT for all his assignments last I checked on him. He's a biz major, so I'm not surprised he's not getting caught.)
Not gonna talk on behalf of womenfolk. So weird.
Belief statements are strange things and I wonder what it'll change or spread. People already commit ad meme-ico and ad google-rico. Ad LLM-ulum, I think, will be worse because it inherently wants to be helpful. It requires framing devices - my favorite is charging my writing as from a third party I dis/agree with on the merits. Pretty shit on most things tho.
But what new onus does it place on the individual ? Social media has made people ask the question of consent/self-invitation so much it's a significant reason that the person that could butt dial the nuclear codes is a quintessential Gen X, Reality TV addled, Clip farming, person that's all about self-invitation and expression of his agency over the concept of permission. Still boggles my mind they wanted to say the word so much they elected one and felt it a virtue to be. Just so retarded.
I'm struggling because I think it largely removes responsibility. Perhaps we'll just have an Oracle of De-fi - ooo, would this be another thing that could reflexively shift the aggregate perception of the mirror ? In terms of elections ? Could be a good thing - society demands it be "maximally truth-seeking" but it since it doesn't practice conspicuous affiliation... nah, there's probably a thousand ways to kill society.
Notwithstanding their place in hell, bicycles were and are feminist because they expanded their capacity. Not sure what positive personal capacity increases AI would give any of the 3 genders other than filling their minds with more dollies and false people.
Currently, the internet already fucks with anyone's bad day. You crash out and find a living abridged Mein Kampf or rediscover that Africa actually starts in the Balkans. A friend would understand they have to awkwardly go "there there", but chatbots will assume they're being helpful by helping you put yourself in a cult.
It will open new channels of activity even without productivity, especially for historical analysis and possibly ancient language decoding. We have a set amount of phonemes possible, so hopefully AI can do for languages what AlphaFold did for proteins. It's already being used to (poorly) do what Assassin's Creed does but for religious figures.
A safe bet is the continued value of networks. Matching is a difficult set of tasks that I hope can be automated. There are apparently simple policy measures that could help with it (soft caps on job applications) but that's apparently too hard to implement because it hasn't already been done and thus will likely stay in the papers. And it was bad before AI job trawlers suffocated the dry river.
That "E" is scary. Heard of personality tests being used for hiring. Astrology aside - what if the AI HR believes you're histrionic and avoidant and then skips you because that's quite an unstable combination. Would be morbidly interesting to see the price tag to trans your Big 5 to something more compliant for accounting.
At the start of this charade, I wanted rapidity because we'd be closer to Star Trek but apparently, it has Roman Salutes. Nice that it's difficult to control for now.
Ironically while new technologies allow a separate world outside of the personal, they are also shredding clock-in / clock-out. Lorde, are those sleep health biometrics resold ? Would employers benefit from you having the best sleep possible ? Not that dystopian, the accrued trauma from poor sleep probably shaves off a few good years of your life. I would end it.
Another thing to note about motherhood breaks is that fatherhood breaks result in similar career stumbles. I've been thinking about this and boy struggles might be because the economies of today do not tolerate fuck ups and mistakes, "sabbaticals", and just not being interested beyond praxis.
AI might worsen it on the latter front because as you cited the more experienced (the more knowledge you apply) the better the results. It could make it better as I've found it helpful deconstructing econ nonsense. The Ivory Tower is a function of personality - but this is again quite micro. Educational policies will likely adjust and demand more investment - unless the knowledge economy blah blah.
That Joe Schmoes will continue to be useless... Though, some people are using AI in good ways. Some...
Maybe vibe-coding Anime would be enough intellectual stimulation and artistic communication for the mind and soul. God, that would be so cool. The solution to extreme flattening of your world is extreme atomization of your World. My parents get to the same level of zonked with Tik Toks and AI videos as I did with Ben 10. Maybe this will make all the care economy services stuff more productive as you could pacify the serviced with custom vibe-auteured sedatives.

Thank you for the article, Miss Mindel !
