alt Hacker NewsFor me this is a painting vs photography thing
Painting used to be the main way to make portraits, and photography massively democratized this activity. Now everyone can have as many portraits as they want
Photography became something so much larger
Painting didn't disappear though
Compared to painting, software allows you to solve the problem once, then distribute the solution to the problem basically for free.
Market frictions cause the problem to be solved multiple times.
LLMs learn the solution patterns and apply it devaluing coming up with solutions in the first place.
