What I'm getting at is that it's something given to babys to make them feel like they're doing something. In the case of AI, it's sold to CEOs as a way to automate labor, when it really just produces worthless dogshit that appears to be useful to the untrained eye. The busy work should absolutely be automated and people should be freed from drudgery but these planet-destroying toys controlled by corporations are not the way to get there.

Capitalist apologists will tell you that all of this busywork is economically necessary, critical even.

Isn't it weird how they can surface a million dialog boxes to ask you if you want to switch back to Edge, but cannot fathom having a confirmation dialog for using LLMs to make potentially destructive changes to your files or system?

Seems so common sense that there must be some business strategy implying that having the user in the driver's seat is not the direction they would like to go. Microsoft certainly has the UI people necessary to design the UX for human intervention / supervision of LLM tool calling.
