Is there any point in teaching aviation engineering when an LLM could probably generate something that looks reasonable from a corpus existing work?

Most “cs” students don’t work in aviation, majority (statistically) work on yet another SaaS that is a CRUD that has been solved millions of times already.

Not necessarily going to be true by the time current first year students graduate, given that solved problems are most exposed to AI acceleration.

I think it's a bit like `rails generate`, where it massively speeds up getting a CRUD webapp 0 to 1, but once you get to GitHub or Shopify size, you need a lot more than that to add a new data model.

AIs are pushing many things forward, but due to training sets and context windows, I think meaningfully adding to actually valuable apps, at least as we currently write them (the kind with many DBs/caches/message queues, services) will take a fair bit longer.

		Because the companies doing these will either not employ as many people as they do now or will cease to exist altogether since their customers will not need their services
