> Current AI capabilities map onto ["bullshit jobs"] with alarming precision. LLMs excel at generating plausible-sounding reports, drafting formulaic communications, summarizing information, and answering repetitive queries. They don't need genuine intelligence; they just need to automate the performance of administrative labor.

I had been thinking employers giving "AI" as a reason for layoffs were uniformly disingenuous, but they may be referring, in part, to performative roles.
