Again I'm the author.. and I actually wrote this.

Maybe I need to stop reading AI posts and thinking that it's good writing? But will take the feedback on board and try not to over analyse each paragraph - it was a lot messier upon first draft but maybe ready better I guess.

I appreciated the essay, GPTisms aside. The core concept is one that I've felt for a long while, but you articulated it more cleanly than I've been able to. I'd explained it as into "the tasks are replaced, the job is not", but I like your distinction better.

Appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed the read.

Planning on writing a lot more this year.
