Have you considered getting better at coding so you can build stuff yourself instead of waiting for models you might not be able to get access to anymore?

What if you're using it for Mathematics (e.g., making progress on unsolved problems) instead of writing software? Would you consider that a valid use-case?

I'd love to meet the devs who can spin up full feature web apps in under 15 minutes with all the bells and whistles I've gotten Claude to spin up and code. I don't think the AI haters understand the level of time cutting that you can achieve with a very simple and reasonably crafted prompt.

I'm talking back-end, with database models, classes, queries, accompanying front-end layouts, with real dynamic data, running. Stuff that takes days to weeks to spin up, with minimal errors or issues, having cut down on days or weeks of effort, you can focus on testing and making it all into better code.

And the trade off for that productivity is relying on a completely untrustworthy company/product that gets more expensive and uncertain by the week while your skills erode.

		Companies don't care about your skillz, they care about velocity and costs. If AI helps increase velocity and decrease cost by lowering total headcount, then its a massive win. That factors in AI "unpredictability".

This is like telling someone who wants a motorcycle that they should get better at running instead.

		When the motorcycle manufacturers keep making each new model worse and more expensive and the government keeps trying to ban them.
