I don't understand what magic was there to begin with, and I'm not even that old.

I built my career searching on google. I just don't get what the practical difference is. I know there are always better answers, but I'm the one making the decisions and getting paid. Nobody is seriously deferring work to an LLM unless they're that desperate (different problem). Someone less knowledgeable than me would make just as much of a mess as any old copypasta job.

Where's the threat? I don't crack open a book and say "oh it's all over they'll just hire the million other guys like this instead of me". I learn and move on.

Yes they are. Read some of the comments on this website and you'll hear that many people no longer write or read their own fucking code.

		I'm not disagreeing. Many people didn't read or write their own code a decade ago either! hah LLMs are the ultimate content scraper. That may have a chilling effect, but it's not a new effect. Where/why do people think LLMs were being used before the ChatGPT and later hype?
