What value does a developer deliver when their entire process is done by an LLM? Is there no desire for a creative process?

It answers that in the post:

> It was more like handholding a fresh grad who had absorbed all of human knowledge but needed someone to tie various parts of that knowledge to create something useful. Also ChatGPT is bad at dealing with abstractions beyond 2 layers.

> ChatGPT is definitely a productivity multiplier. I think it is rather a differential productivity multiplier, as it would enhance more the capabilities of those who already know more. If I did not understand deep learning and FAISS, or how projects are structured, I don't think I would have been able to pull this off. On the other hand, it also has some sort of a leveling effect—I have not worked on PyTorch in a while, have no idea of FAISS's new APIs, etc., but these gaps were filled in by ChatGPT.

People had the same thoughts about cake mixes in the 40s. Oh you can just buy a cake mix? That's not cooking anymore444

I kind of agree about the cake mixes, but not the developer. It's pretty clear to me the value the developer provided, as he elaborated about it at length near the end and said the LLM isn't getting his job anytime soon.

The cake mix really isn't "cooking," by my standards. Neither is microwaving popcorn. But it's an arbitrary line, I wouldn't defend it very hard.

The dev gave the initial idea to the LLM. That's the creative process. Everything after that, arguably, is just technical details in order to realize the idea. Sure, implementation requires plenty of creativity, but of different kind.

What value does driver deliver if entire process is done by a car?

Not much, hence I dont need a dedicated driver to drive my car.
