I am genuinely doing it for free in my free time on top of my work (in fact I pay for the models) so I am doing it for less than peanuts. I completely disagree w/r/t the model take, their is skill in steering work to get a product done that is what management has always been about, I do think in the long run this will be automated but I have seen 0 progress on it so far.

I disagree, there’s no future in “Steering” a model. You ask what you want, and the model delivers. Opus 5.5 is getting there already, A single line prompt creates a fully functional game engine that can be used to make many different games : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=R_uf5OfMGio&t=3555s (Opus 5.5)

Please explain to me what great prompting / steering you will do when your customer can just prompt exactly what he wants and get a product even more tailored to his needs.

Natural language is too lossy for most usecases and people are bad at being specific enough to get what they want. For example, I am not creative enough to think of movie ideas compared to good directors so I will probably just pay to see what they cook up rather than try to make it myself.

That only works for art where the customer doesn’t know what he wants. Most people don’t work on Video-Games.

I disagree, I think being able to specify and validate a product is a massive skill that will be in high demand for a while yet.

You do you but I think that’s cope.

I genuinely use AI all day every day so it isn't just based on nothing. The PMs I work with have no interest in speccing the technical side of solutions out at all, and vibed specs aren't even close to being one shottable yet.
