The post is trying to address the people who fear for their jobs, not addressing consumers who are tired of the lack of quality stuff (I include myself in that group too).
Srsly, what to do when Sonnet doesn't understand your brownfield codebase is kinda ignored here. Trusting LLMs with large codebases and letting your skills slip is a mistake.
This is the point. LLMs are a replacement for agency. No more suggestion that you try a new product, the LLM will tell you when to use it and the LLM provider will sell the responses to the highest bidder based on query demographics. Since many are blindly trusting what LLMs output, how to ask someone on a date, how to do a pullup, how to jump start a car. Why not "how should I spend my paycheck?"
"AI"'s killer feature is making UIs for existing non-AI technologies like OCR, speech to text, deep fakes, image manipulation etc. In many cases firms eventually look to get a better result and use the tools themselves after seeing the result ceiling.
I'm not. This whole thing has exposed something very ugly at the heart of American society. As soon as you start bumping off people you don't agree with — even those with stupid views — you might as well wave bye bye to democracy.
