    You don't need as specialized skillsets to build complex apps, you just need to know how to put context together and iterate

I feel it is exactly the opposite. AI helps specialists iterate faster, knowing what they are doing. Who doesn't know the details will stumble upon problems unsolvable by AI iteration. Who knows the details can step in where AIs fail.

I don't think there are problems unsolvable in principle. Given a good enough specialist and some amount of time, it's possible to guide an LLM to the solution eventually.

The problem is that people often can't recognize whether they are getting closer to the solution or not, so iteration breaks.

		about unsolvability, it depends. In some contexts there are undecidable problems, like the halting problem, but I get your point.

		yes that's my point. The article seems to suggest that the opposite is true, that without a specialist you can solve special problems with an unlearned user and a LLM.
