    This article is about the Economist's summary of a journal article so we have a (AI?) summary of a summary. Not very helpful. Here are a couple of better references:

    Also note the findings are more nuanced than may appear on the surface.

      Yeah, obviously. We also don't know how to use flint and steel to start fires any more. You wouldn't outlift a crane, why would you want to outhomework an AI? And you can't even argue that this toil is going to help in the workplace, because the workplace is now AI-native, and you can offload everything to AI.

        you know we let social media companies cause massive harm over 2 decades; but clearly, this will be deifferent!

        In my professional career, my employers give me a lot more assignments than exams.

          Your career is a continual exam and the assignments are just parts of it.
