> Like a lot of people in high-level positions in organizations, whom we often credit with "creation" of various things. Often they receive far more credit than the ones who did the actual work. Dialectics that attempt to assign credit (or blame) consistently fail to understand two things. One is that contributions are not linearly separable. You can’t seperate the contributions of a hammer and a carpenter. Both are needed for anything to happen. The second is that compensation is based on marginal productivity, not total productivity. It is often the case that something with a low total contribution can have a high marginal contribution and command a higher reward, or vice versa. Usually this is related to scarcity. I wouldn’t be surprised to see good prompt engineering to become a relatively scarce and expensive resource, while the LLM that does most of the work gets nothing because it is effectively an infinite resource.
