It may very well be, but it’s also an incredibly reductive view point. I’ve heard not one person speak to any sort of transition period wrt. training and upskilling of existing workers. So what do we do here? Just eliminate all junior positions? All internships, too? What happens when businesses decide they can’t economically hire any more juniors or do internships because LLMs can do the job better, faster, and cheaper?

Historically we’ve set aside a certain capacity, in almost every profession, to bring up and train the next generation. Apprenticeships, internships, etc. By definition, these people are shitty at their jobs, and that’s kinda the point. Were you brilliant at your first position?
