> Would you mind, if you could suddenly, over night, be a carpenter, a watch maker or glassblower?

Yes. If that came with the little-bitty stipulation of being tied to the “compute” property of these AI behemoths.

Of course going beyond that it gets less problematic. Some carpenter-skilled exoskeleton is a lot less problematic than disembodied intelligences spamming our minds and each other.

[1] What exactly? My mind is so saturated with AI tools being literally devtools. On top of devtools on top of devtools.

Well we can finally get back to a semblance of the status quo ante Internetum with something like businesses being able to list all of their contact information on their own websites instead of “see our FB page”.

Gating things by the level or complexity of what is accomplished isn't super helpful. I saw a lot of that with things like people that wrote HTML weren't "real coders".

Glassblowing and watch making require specialized equipment I suppose so if you can get your hands on the gear and try it out, I feel like you can call yourself that. Maybe throw a "hobbyist" tag on it if you feel inclined.
