Well, they think they will be paid 10 times more now that they can produce bullshit 10x faster ... in reality, they will be fired.

…and replaced by b.s. chatbot wranglers, who will be paid much more, and who will produce more total output, and who will be selected preferentially from among the people that best understand the work the chatbots are doing…so, yeah, in lots of cases, the people that were writing bullshit will end up wrangling chatbots, in jobs that bring in more money for their employer, and probably at higher pay (though, by historical trends of automation, a lower share of the generated value) who write bullshit.

This is even more clearly the case for people who have writing bullshit as an incidental part of their job rather than a core part, since the incidental part will consume less time, increasing productivity, without eliminating need for the core job. So its not even a “lose one job but move to the replacement job” situation, its just a “be more valuable in existing job”.

Relative to what, the "high quality" content you'd spend more time dredging up on Google?

Maybe someone who admits to not knowing the Ukrainian language, shouldn't volunteer to create an entire teaching plan in that language, from a chatbot.
