    The problem is, if you ask a economist how they would implement sweeping tariffs, steep across the board, the answer would be “Please don’t.” It’s such a stupid fucking idea, every answer is wrong.

      They probably also wouldn’t set a specific tariff for an uninhabited island even if they did it under protest

      They also asked ChatGPT about economists, and after conducting an exhaustive study on reddit and Twitter it reported back that everyone agrees economists are bad, mean, and wrong, and that you should just do what you think is best and everything will turn out fine, the same way it always has.

      Perfectly illustratibg how current “Ai” maybe an OK assistant to a trained professional for low level, mundane tasks… It cannot get close to replace the actual trained professional

          Oh I think AI is a complete waste of wattage (at least all these chatbots and LLMs)… I am just pointing out how it is mostly hot air and not worth any significant investment other than maybe more R&D to find an OK use for it
