My guy, that's like calling McDonald's a higher level abstraction for cooking. Ordering a big mac doesn't make you a chef.

Nobody says it does. However, if I am solving big business problems and making enough to justify a private cook, why wouldn't I do that to optimize and focus on my area of expertise?

I don't want to be a code monkey. I want to talk to business people and come up with solutions. I don't care if LLM writes most of it or a junior dev...well I do LLM is better.

Ironic that the parent poster should use the phrase "code monkey" since most would likely agree being an "LLM prompt monkey" is an even lower rung on the ladder than that. The business people can surely find a LLM prompt monkey for much less salary than what a code monkey gets so I'm not sure anyone would want to embrace that future. In fact, if the AI gets good enough, the business people won't need the LLM prompters at all; they'll talk to the AI themselves.

From the way you're writing, you'll fit right in with the 'business people' since they dont have any clue half the time either.

The issue is that the business problem you're solving is the problem of producing food. Why should you be kept around as the middleman, instead of hiring the chef directly?

The same reason middle management is still around today.

Why? Can't the business people talk to LLMs and have it come up with solutions?

		Sure, many do and fail. I wonder why?

Seems like the LLM has already impacted your reading comprehension. We're talking about learning here, not the overall value of LLMs.

In case you've never seen it before, you can watch how a burger's made (in case of LLMs anyway) and eventually replicate it. You can also inspect the recipe after the fact to learn.
