> My feeling is that, provided a sufficiently long context window, an LLM will be able to go through the second kind project very easily. It will also be very good at showing that the first kind of project is not so new after all, destroying all people who can't find really new ideas.

My perspective is that value is had in understanding what and why a system needs to do what it does in order to satisfy a defined need, be it algorithmic and/or business. If the need is a use-case where a web form is used, an LLM can no more replace the knowledge of why it is there than someone fulfilling a "fiver contract" could.

Both might be able to complete a specific deliverable, but neither have the ability to provide value to an organization beyond the assets they produce.
