Shortly after ChatGPT was released， in early 2023， a freelance

was replacing him with AI， because it could write content for
free.But he is also wanted—at a small amount of his normal rate—to
“rewrite” the AI-generated text.This is not the first time that
technology has slashed salaries instead of jobs， and the real problem
is not AI. The problem is a culture that devalues （贬低） human
labor.
With the release of new AI applications， discussions about the
future of work are back in full force.A recent study looked at
professions in the United States， from poets to financial managers，
predicting the 19 percent will soon lose 50 percent of their tasks to AI.
But our previous experience with automation suggests it’s much
more complicated than technology simply replacing human work.
In 2019，independent research organization Data & Society
studied how automation was integrated in farm management and
grocery stores.Counter to the popular belief that the technology was
reducing the need for human labor，researchers Alexandra Mateescu
and Madeleine Clare Elish discovered that introducing new devices
was mostly changing the nature of the work.For example，automated
checkout machines kept employees busy，because now they were
assisting confused customers，troubleshooting（检修）machines，
and taking on other tasks to ensure their smooth operation in the store. Most importantly，Mateescu and Elish discovered that the new tasks，which helped accommodate and employ the“automated” technology，were often undervalued or even invisible.
The important thing to understand is that the current deskilling
