The Forthcoming Wave of AI Mop-Up Jobs
The Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw once famously quipped, “Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance.”
From the moment I read the quote, I loved it. It even adorns the dust jacket of Message Not Received.
Shaw was speaking in general terms—not about ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Perplexity.

AI hallucinations will result in a tsunami of clean-up work for true subject matter experts.
