The LLMs play a part, but it’s the tempo; the pace. Fully autonomous w/LLM isn’t true. Leadership wants it true. The technological capabilities and acceptance

The LLMs play a part, but it’s the tempo; the pace. Fully autonomous w/LLM isn’t true. Leadership wants it true. The technological capabilities and acceptance of scapegoating a machine got rejected by society, so that leaves perfectly capable individuals as the gatekeepers of decision making, completely overloaded by the amount of information they need to deal with. If you as a human can’t keep up, but the onslaught continues, and you’ll be held responsible for the outcome regardless… yeah. People will punch their ticket out. It’s not unique to LLMs, but LLMs have certainly automated the process of reaching the worst possible conclusion. Don’t for a second try to hold the computers accountable or blame them for this outcome. This is a leadership issue and always will be. Believing otherwise is just allowing suicides to be scapegoated as a computer’s doing.

It doesn't matter if its fully autonomous or not. You taking something that was both esoteric and highly skilled to something that any rando with an LLM could do. And so yeah expectations for output are going to increase exponentially, but not entirely unreasonably so, all the while any appreciation or value of your own skillset is going to head right into the gutter. I don't see how you can say this is a leadership issue because the tech itself is creating a scenario that's going to leave plenty of people in crisis. The same will happen in programming. People are clinging onto the hope that it won't matter that much because 80% of a programmer's job, at a large company, doesn't involve coding anyhow, but even there the reason for the high comp is that 20%, as that's where the barrier to entry is. As that barrier falls, skill relevance plummets, and expectations rise.
