Comment on The Jobs AI Is Replacing the Fastest

Ironically this contradicts itself enough times that I’m assuming it’s written by an LLM
I am no Nietzsche expert, but I had always heard that a relative in charge of his estate, who was a fascist, took advantage of him in his old age after his brain had been diminished by syphilis. He wasn’t a liberal or leftist by modern standards, but he also didn’t seem to be a fascist or anti-Semite.
Here is an article that seems to support this view:
There’s quite a lot of revisionist writing on him. I’d suggest you read his body of work beyond the typical recommendations to form your own opinion.
What most experts do agree is that his sister’s edits of Will to Power are quite obvious and her role in portraying him as an anti-semite is ludicrously overstated, in no small part by post-war fascists trying to lure more people into reading him. It does not stop him from being an anti-semite and anti-democratic thinker on his own.
Nietzsche isn’t the sort of philosopher that should be discarded for all of his -isms, just keep in mind that he’s also probably the most lied about philosopher in history since Jesus.
I have read several of his works, and they never struck me as inherently political—more like a commentary on observable sociological structures. I may just not be clever enough to absorb everything, but I had originally interpreted his work as observational rather than prescriptive.
“Liberal institutions straightaway cease being liberal the moment they are soundly established: once this is attained; no more grievous and more thorough enemies of freedom exist than liberal institutions”

The thing is, it's not ironic at all. This is just AI hype! That's what this article is. It's AI hype written by an AI. God, I hate this. Fuck you Gizmodo.
