I would counter that LLMs have made worse devs and they were pretty bad before. Being more productive and writing more code hasn’t made software better, it’s the contrary. If we’re more productive in producing code churn and could rely on the smarts of an LLM, shouldn’t we be moving back to the days of resourceful code and languages? There is no longer the excuse that X is hard, memory management is hard, pointers are hard, etc. And dare I say it, the death of multi-platform web apps. If a single dev can do the job of 3, they can maintain the cost and burden of 3 platforms as the LLM is doing the heavy lifting, right? We’ll save on energy (or balance it out as LLM farms use a lot), we’ll save time (faster code), we’ll produce less e-waste. These are real problems great devs think about. The same will be true for artists. Terrible artists will have the perception of being great but will fall flat with bad artistic style and vision.
