Earlier quoted context omitted.

1. You seem to think that non programmers don't ask LLMs to program for them. Maybe that's why you're comfortable here thinking you're definitely will keep being in demand. Believe me they do ask an LLM to write for them various tools and bots and what LLM writes can in turn consume tokens like crazy be agentic or whatever the latest hype word is. 2. even without that uploading a resume is not "write emails based on…

>You seem to think that non programmers don't ask LLMs to program for them. Because they largely do not. Are you actually under the impression that the average person is using chatbots to program? That’s wayyy off. >Maybe that's why you're comfortable here thinking you're definitely will keep being in demand.

They don't use chatbots to program. They use chatbots to get shit some. Sometimes that involves a program.

You know how a regular person can simply prompt a chatbot to generate a chatbot for them that would automate dating (incl messaging) and they get the full thing with handholding about what to press to get it running? Yeah. (If your model can't do it yet then try %someothermodel% or wait for a couple months.)

Your assumption that no one surely ever uses this for actual work purposes is funny. imagine you're preparing some slides and you need to process some data into it and the thing generates a script to do it. now imagine that generated script also calls some chatbot api and so on;)

Read the first paragraph could tell it was AI written. Maybe if it was hand edited to be less AI I would have read more but it looked like the laziest Claude prose. That'll be a no from me dawg.

Doesn't read like it's AI-written to me.

It's been heavily edited to reduce its AI-ness. Some tells remain, for example "Not X. It's Y."

Enough smell has been removed where it's tolerable.
