I don't know, a lot of the things we used to take for granted as "hard" just aren't anymore. Writing a parser for a compiler? It used to be an endeavor that took several days, now an LLM will do it in 20 mins.

Same for annoying training jobs, with sufficient data you can probably let an LLM loose on it in autotrain mode and it will come back with a decent classifier.

Heh this used to be an interview question I gave. You’d be surprised how far people would get in 30 minutes.

It’s not the software development that’s hard. It’s the data science and domain knowledge to build a good training set and a meaningful objective.
