No. That's not really where I'm coming from.

I believe your skills are atrophying when you use these things no matter how trivial the case. That compounds with their bias towards solving problems by producing more code to further reduce your productivity without them.

Ah I read it wrong. I must be using LLMs too much :)

I do agree with you to some extent. I think anyone who uses LLMs will need to set aside some time writing code by hand to keep their skills sharp.

And if we do adapt we might still get replaced because less of us will be able to do more. Or we wont because of Jevons Paradox. Linux maintainers on the other hand can code (with and without AI) what I could not (with or without AI). So in a way becoming a more knowledgeable, more skilled programmer is the way? In any case, too much speculation about the future.
