>Understandable but why would you assume people will stop getting a taste for hacking just because LLMs exist? It's not a prediction, it's already the case. Like students coming into computer science degrees and letting the LLM do all the work, learning nothing. Interns phoning it in too. >Technology will make them lazy just because they can prompt an AI now? Yes, that's how it works. The path of least resistance is what's followed. Same way we walk less because we can just get in a car, or do or order things online now. >I think the human drive for excellence and tinkering cannot just be vanished just because LLMs exist. There's no trancedent "human drive for excellence and tinkering". There's either an actual force shaping or there's a path which is easier and most will turn into slobs and take. Same way much much much fewer people tinker with their electric devices or cars than they did in the 1920s to 1970s. They just throw them out and buy a new one, even when the device is simple and repairable. And countless other examples where "excellence" or even "good" is traded for covenience.
