> "a worker" is a very very non deterministic abstraction, outside from the most basic tasks

Sure but we (usually) don't fool ourselves into believing otherwise. The problem with AI is that it suggests near-perfect intelligence with reproducible results. So many people are not acknowledging the fundamental limitations of LLMs, whereas we all have an intuition for the limitations of humans.

In addition to the reliability/security aspect, there's the claim to expertise and unwarranted confidence. We also don't (usually) fool ourselves into believing that the manager has gained the skills and expertise of the worker, simply because they gave abstract orders and a good result was achieved.

In other words, "I can code because I prompt an LLM" is like "I can do metalworking because I sign the paychecks of a blacksmith."

Well said!
