@david_chisnall I think you might be underestimating the value here. Just with "matching solved problems with existing solutions" in it's own right is the greatest invention of the century. Most problems have existing solutions - choosing the right one and applying it is like 99% of all work we do. This is actually a good thing as it leaves creative edge pushing solutions for us and have LLM tools do the "boring" matching - is it not?

I see LLMs as a continuation of the Silicon Valley obsession with 'problem solving' and their specific definition. -
Society is starting to look exactly like what happens when we spend decades treating STEM as the only path worth investing in, while sidelining the humanities.@thepurpleoctopus I'd argue that STEM often grows the other ones as a bi-product very reliably:
- higher wages and lower work load means more free time to explore humanities
- analytics and result/growth focused mindset popularized by STEM applies to humanities just as well
- humanities being more of a hobby subject protects it from commercial negativityWe should actually do _more_ STEM. I'd really just complain about "business degrees" as these are just useless outside of a class or two.
