Or the opposite. If before you needed to get buy-in from stakeholders to spend precious resources to build your idea, nowadays you can just do it and demo it.

It still requires some self promotion etd, but less than before.

And this is why I am likely to leave software. I actually really like people, but I am autistic and not especially good at talking to them, and it's quite drianing to do so.

I will miss coding, but I had a good run. Time to learn a trade. I don't begrudge this fate.

No… the person who's going to do well is the one who doesn't have to ask what to build. The one who has to ask is no better than an AI, except they start out wanting to ask, rather than starting out with no interest whatsoever until they're prompted to have one.

When everything you ask for is instant and valueless, even asking becomes meaningless, and everyone is waiting to see something they'd not thought of.

Then, a thousand thousand copies, immediately… but also, watching that person like a hawk to see if they can do it again. That's the future. A lot of people will just plain become unable to think or intend anything on their own, or even want anything.
