Are we headed for a total white-collar wipeout, or is generative AI just a "stochastic parrot" prone to producing unreliable slop? Drawing on systematic data from 2022 to 2026—including job postings, software uploads to GitHub and iOS Apps launched, and a dramatic rise in AI-generated legal filings in US courts —this episode explores why the predicted mass unemployment hasn't arrived, but a profound white-collar transformation has. Tune in to discover why the real revolution isn't about the jobs we're losing, but how the work we do is being fundamentally redefined.
