Hmmm, I suppose I'm interested in what you mean by bullshit. Just because AI makes something easier to do, doesn't mean the work is bullshit. Lots of research, composition, and communication work becomes much easier to do with an AI assist, but that doesn't mean the work is bullshit.

Sorry, but I don't see how this is a clarifying response.

Research, composition, and communication are a big chunk of what ChatGPT is good at assisting. I don't know enough to claim that it /is/ the general case, but it's very likely not a minority.

And if that's the case, and these activities are not /essentially/ bullshit, then I'm still wondering how AI disruption can be claimed to be a reliable signal of bullshit.
