I see only 2 real arguments (actually only 1): > If I call a plumber, and the guy who shows up doesn’t know anything except how to ask ChatGPT what to do, I will feel this person has misrepresented themselves. This is essentially saying process matters (just as much or even more) than results. And I would say long term that is probably true, but in the short term it is often not the case. If I have a leak in my house I care not what the guy's title is. If they can fix it now, I'm happy. With a doctor I'd actually argue it is similar for emergency situations (which is why EMS are often not doctors), but in a long-term care situation it obviously becomes much more relevant. In essence, this just expresses a preference for that part of the market where interactions are less transactional and more about building lasting business relationships. > I care because, frankly, those of us who do web development have worked damn hard to earn the proficiency we have, and we, like all other skilled laborers, deserve a measure of respect for our work. Which is really no argument at all, because everybody deserves respect. Treating people differently because of titles is so backwards.
