It is absolutely amazing just how long some people can "fake" it. Even in jobs that you would expect needing real expertise say being a medical doctor.

And corporation can be even simpler if you get in right types of roles, where no hard skills might be needed.



AI is "faking" it when you think about it. If a machine can "fake" skills and expertise, and we can measure its ability to fake it using the Turing Test, then why can't people fake it, too?


People may be able to fake it, but the opportunity to do so may go away.

An idiot may be able to fake being a medical doctor with the right AI, but only until someone realizes they can fire the useless human.
