@datarama And thankless cognitive tasks are almost exclusively the domain of women, even before being legally allowed to work for a wage.

@Linza Yep - "computer" used to be a job, after all. My wariness with saying that LLMs are exploited (because now they can do thankless cognitive tasks) is that I don't think machines can be exploited in the way humans (or animals, for that matter) can. At least to my mind, LLMs are instruments of exploitation (they're used by their owners to exploit their users, the mostly unconsenting makers of training data, the poorly-paid data annotators in the Global South, etc.), rather than "victims" of exploitation.
