Take on AI and automation

I was listening to a podcast of a discussion of David Graeber's "Bullshit Jobs" book, and full disclosure... haven't read it. But my takeaways from the discussion are that every job has a bullshit component in certain areas, no matter who one is on the proverbial ladder, whether it's manual work or simply trying to justify one's existence through bullshit types of tasks. Might it be hype to think that LLMs are going to ever eliminate totally eliminate this? I don't think it's possible, nor could they because I think Human nature to position one's self as valuable, and people will always attempt to justify their value, and attempt to create new value. I dont want to take any type of stance for or against AI or "bullshit jobs" but I thought it interesting to open a discussion. Any thoughts?

Think I'm going to dump Noom

I've had nothing but problems with Noom since I started and am thinking of going with a different platform. There's many of them with different price points, reviews. Noom's app is not functioning, and there is seemingly no proper escalation chain of accountability. Also, they *appear* to HEAVILY rely either scripts or AI generated responses when interacting with customers. That seems like a company that is on the road to nowhere...
