It is common for less good, but much cheaper tech to displace humans doing a job if it’s “good enough”. Dishwashing machines that sometimes leave debris on dishes are an example.
The technically competent people have long ofnet been led by people not technically competent, and have long been outcompeted by bullshit artists. LLM output is remarkably similar to bullshit artistry. One saving grace of the human bullshit artists is they at least usually understand they secretly have dependencies on actual competent people and while they will outcompete, they will at least try to keep the competent around, the LLM doesn’t have such concepts.
Ok, but I did specifically point out that AI is doing a worse job than those people. It’d be like replacing your dishwashing guy with chimp that go to shadow him for a bit before he was fired. Another analogy would be replacing a carpenter with a van full of his tools as if they could do the work on their own.
