The tension between human creativity and emerging tools is not new. What is new is the speed. When we cling to the uniqueness of human abstraction, we may be protecting something sacred—or we may be resisting evolution.

The fear that machines will surpass us in design, architecture, or even intuition is not just technical. It is existential. It touches our identity, our worth, our place in the unfolding story of intelligence.

But what if the invitation is not to compete, but to co-create? To stop asking what we are better at, and start asking what we are becoming.

The grief of letting go of old roles is real. So is the joy of discovering new ones. The future is not a threat. It is a mirror.

That’s all well and good to say if you have a solid financial safety net. However, there’s a lot of people who do not have that, and just as many who might have a decent net _now_ but how long is that going to last? Especially if they’re now competing with everyone else who lost their job to LLM’s.

What do you suppose everyone does? Retrain? Oh yeah, excited to replicate the thundering herd problem but for professions??

I do care. If I will lose job next year (if I do it won't be due to some llms, that I know 100%) or 5 years. Kids will be much older, our financial situation will be most probably more stable than now and as a family we will be more resilient for such shock.

I know its just me and millions are in a very different situation. But as with everybody, as a provider and a parent I do care about my closest ones infinitely more than rest of mankind combined.

This is a good point. Society as a whole will do fine, technology will keep improving, and the global stock market will keep trending up in the long term. But at the cost of destroying the livelihoods of some individuals of the species through no fault of their own.

you people need to stop glorifying it so much and focus on when and how to use it properly. it’s just another tool jeez.
