So workers are 10x more productive! Are there not enough papers to annotate? The writer still needs a specialist to make sure the LLM is going the right thing.
Aren’t the comparisons to blue collar labor a little much here?
If I hire 10 people to dig the ditches, and then I get a backhoe, yes, one guy is needed to dig the ditch.
But backhoes are expensive investments, LLMs are not.
LLMs gives everyone of those ditch diggers a backhoe. Now I have an army of backhoes! Unless the world runs out of a need for ditches, time to start a ditch digging empire.
