#2Well, this is what future LLMs are for.
Somewhere I saw a great quote about "AIs having meetings with AIs" and essentially doing nothing... But doing nothing very efficiently.

Because many only look at first order consequences and ignore anything beyond that. Despite history having a huge number of societally enhancing innovations to reference that also took jobs at the time.
