My fear is that it is the future: A future where innovation stagnates because no one knows how or even wants to do anything anymore that they can’t get from prompting an LLM. Everything humans do will be a prompt interface. Already at work people are lazy as hell, nobody wants to know things, just do things and move on.

Air traffic control? Just have pilots prompt an LLM, there’s already discussions about it due to the lack of people available to work this job.

Legal battles? Prompt LLMs for case studies. Many firms no longer have a need for junior members.

Movies and shows? Prompt LLMs to produce content, no need for elaborate CGI or set designs or costumes.

Someday perhaps there will be a new human art renaissance where people learn to shun LLMs and AI content and once again we will be graced with an abundance soulful human works. We will not live long enough to see those days.
