It's interesting that AI proponents say stuff like, "Humans will remain interested in other humans, even after AI can do all our jobs." It really does seem to be true. Here for example we have a guy who's using AI to make a status-seeking statement i.e. "I'm playing a strong supporting role on the 'anti-AI thinkers' team therefore I'm high status". Like, humans have an amazing ability to repurpose anything into status markers. Even AI. I think that if AI replaces all of our actual jobs then we'll still spend our time doing status jobs. In a way this guy is living in the future even more than most AI users.

For now, yes, because humans are doing most of jobs better than AI. In 10 years time, if the AI's are doing a better job, people like author need to learn all the ropes if they wanna catch up. I don't think LLMs will destroy all jobs, i think those who learn them and use them properly, and those professionals will outdo people who don't use these tools just for the sake of saying I'm high status I dont use these tools.

  If AI will do better job than humans what ropes are there to learn? You just feed in the requirements and AI poops out products. This often is brought up that if you don't use LLMs now to produce so-so code you will somehow magically completely fall off when the LLMs all of a sudden start making perfect code as if developers haven't been learning new tools constantly as the field as evolved. Yes, I use old technology, but also yes I try new technology and pick and choose what works for me and what does not. Just because LLMs don't have a good place in my work flow does not mean I am not using them at all or that I haven't tried to use them.

    Good on you. You are using it and trying to keep up. Keep doing that and try to push what you can do with it. I love to hear that!
