导读
这篇论文利用丹麦的行政数据研究大语言模型对劳动力市场的实际影响，发现尽管 LLM 被广泛讨论，其对就业和工资的影响目前仍然很小。作者指出 AI 在企业中的落地效果有限，实际应用远比“部署一个聊天机器人”复杂。
HN 关注点：AI 对就业的真实冲击有多大，讨论焦点是这项研究是否为时过早、以及 AI 落地难在哪里。

亲历AI 落地难在系统集成和工作流适配，聊天机器人式部署效果有限
很有意思的一点是：用好 AI 其实很难。很多公司只是“部署一个聊天机器人”，而研究结果表明这效果并不好。我的经验类似——给企业部署简单聊天机器人作用不大。要改善需要两件事，都不容易：一是与现有系统集成，比如会计领域的 AI 需要高质量访问采购单、发票、总账等数据，但很多系统老旧、API 缺失、数据被各部门把持，这项工作很难且不易规模化；二是针对具体工作流设计工具，这看起来更像传统软件加一些 AI 能力。我卖的是“AI 解决方案”，但很多价值其实来自替换糟糕的旧流程，AI 本身未必是主要价值来源。

Great read. One of the interesting insights from it is how difficult good application of AI is. A lot of companies are just "deploying a chatbot" and some of the results from this study show that this doesn't work very well. My experience is similar: deploying simple chatbots to the enterprise doesn't do a lot. For things to get better, two things are required, neither of which are easy: - Integration into existing systems. You have to build data lakes or similar system that allow the AI to use data and information broadly across an enterprise. For example, for an AI tool to be useful in accounting, it's going to need high quality data access to the company's POs, issued invoices, receivers, GL data, vendor invoices, and so on. But many systems are old, have dodgy or nonexistent APIs, and data is held in various bureaucratic fiefdoms. This work is hard and doesn't scale that well. - Knowledge of specific workflows. It's better when these tools are built with specific workflows in mind that are designed around specific peoples' jobs. This can start looking less like pure AI and more like a mix of traditional software with some AI capabilities. My experience is that I sell software as "AI solutions," but often I feel a lot of the value created is because it's replacing bad processes (either terrible older software, or attempting to do collaborative work via spreadsheet), and the AI tastefully sprinkled throughout may not be the primary value driver. Knowledge of specific workflows also requires really good product design. High empathy, ability to understand what's not being said, ability to understand how to create an overall process value stream from many different peoples' narrower viewpoints, etc. This is also hard. Moreover, this is deceiving because for some types of work (coding, ideating around marketing copy) you really don't need that much scaffolding at all because the capabilities are latent in the AI, and layering stuff on top mostly gets in the way. My experience is that this type of work is a narrow slice of the total amount of work to be done, though, which is why I'd agree with the overall direction this study is suggesting that creating actual measurable major economic value with AI is going to be a long-term slog, and that we'll probably gradually stop calling it AI in the process as we attenuate to it and it starts being used as a tool within software processes.
质疑现在衡量 LLM 的经济影响为时过早
现在下结论为时过早，就像 1985 年去衡量互联网的经济影响。LLM 目前更像技术演示而非成熟产品，其全部影响可能需要很多年才会显现。

Seems premature, like measuring the economic impact of the internet in 1985. LLMs are more tech demo than product right now, and it could take many years for their full impact to become apparent.
质疑丹麦数据偏保守，美国已出现但可能被逆转的 AI 招聘冻结
有趣的研究！但我觉得采用周期太早，得不出任何结论，尤其数据来自丹麦——据我在两地工作的经验，丹麦的商业文化远没有美国那么被炒作驱动。我在美国见过几次因 AI 而冻结招聘的情况（有些是我做的 LLM 集成导致的），我确信当管理层更现实地了解这些工具的能力后会被撤销；而我接触的丹麦人不太可能高估这些工具的价值。

Interesting study! Far too early in the adoption lifecycle for any conclusions I think, especially given that the data is from Denmark which tends to be have a far less hype-driven business culture than the US going by my bit of experience working in both. Anecdotally, I've seen a couple of AI hiring freezes in the states (some from LLM integrations I've built) that I'm fairly sure will be reversed when management gets a more realistic sense of capabilities, and my general sense is that the Danes I've worked with would be far less likely to overestimate the value of these tools.
补充类比：新技术的早期影响总是被低估
计算机早期，大多数科学家还在继续用计算尺。
