Even if the LLM does things perfectly 100% of the time, how do you expect to maintain your skills if you offload all of your work onto a chatbot? What happens when you start offloading more and more until you're not actually doing anything except typing in prompts?
My skillset is geared towards meatsacks and things that go boom. LLMs have been a massive boon to the 1% of my job that needs a code monkey.
As long as people still talk to each other, and things need exploding, I'll have a job. Heck, if we somehow get to a point where money isnt needed, I'd still do what I do simply 'cuz I like it.
