That is not the entire selling point - so you are very wrong. You very much decide how you employ LLMs. Nobody are keeping a gun to your head to use them. In a certain way. Sonif you use them in a way that increase you inherent risk, then you are incredibly wrong.

I suggest you read the sales pitches that these products have been making. Again, when I say that this is the selling point, I mean it: This is why management is buying them.

  I've read the sales pitches, and they're not about replacing the need for skill. The Claude Design announcement from yesterday (https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-design-anthropic-labs https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-design-anthropic-labs) is pretty typical in my experience. The pitch is that this is good for designers, because it will allow them to explore a much broader range of ideas and collaborate on them with counterparties more easily. The tool will give you cool little sliders to set the city size and arc width, but it doesn't explain why you would want to adjust these parameters or how to determine the correct values; that's your job. I understand why a designer might read this post and not be happy about it. If you don't think your management values or appreciates design skill, you'd worry they're going to glaze over the bullet points about design productivity, and jump straight to the one where PMs and marketers can build prototypes and ignore you. But that's not what the sales pitch is focused on.

    The majority of examples in the document you linked describe 'person without<skill> can do thing needing <skill>'. It's very much selling 'more output, less skill'

    Sales pitches are literally the same thing as "the selling point". Neither of those is necessarily a synonym for why you personally use them
