Ironically LLM would actually do their job better.

I'm wondering that maybe this is the reason they are so excited about it. They try some things they would do and LLM does then well so they think it would help with actually skilled work.

    FYI, the skilled vs unskilled categorization is intentionally designed to suppress the working class by claiming jobs that are "unskilled" labor do not require a livable wage, because "anyone" could do them.

    It's a systemic practice that's continued to keep minimum wage where it's at, and reduce worker's rights across the board.

    All jobs require skill. A minimum wage job done by someone with a lot of experience will be better, faster, and more reliable than someone you hired out of high school/college.

    There are no differences between skilled and unskilled jobs. All jobs are skilled jobs.

    Skilled vs unskilled is the language the wealthy class uses to keep us fighting and working against each other, instead of teaming up vs them.

    You are correct to some extend, but there are jobs that are (and always should be) licensed, like electrician or doctor.

    Totally agreed. There are licenses that you need to be able to perform a job that could endanger you or others. That never changes. Some jobs require more study, and more prep time before going solo with (e.g. Doctor), but all jobs are skilled.

    Skilled labor (n): labor that sets, as one of its prerequisites, that a worker must be able to take four years out of the workforce in order to practice it.

    And how would you define the labor of a master/journeyman electrician or plumber who spent 10-20 years on the job every day learning and practicing their craft without taking four years out of the workforce?

    Edit: I know this is the dictionary definition you've copied, but that doesn't make it accurate, language evolves, and today "skilled vs unskilled labor" is used as a way to suppress the working class.
