On the other hand - my dad is an industrial designer. He was initially irritated by how easy it was for lower grade designers to enter the field given the advent of new tools (even before computers). But he eventually embraced it and understood that the nature of his job changed to something more comprehensive. He just advised me to prepare for the same as a software developer in the age of ChatGPT. Perhaps he would say the same about writers.

What's that mean to you concretely?

[orblivion]

I don't know yet. I honestly don't want to think about it. (despite my dad's advice)

I guess what my dad would say is to find a way to sell some sort of package of yourself offering a service that includes development. The sort of thing where you might otherwise outsource programming, but now you can just have the computer do it. That's not concrete, but that's as far as I've considered it.

Thanks for the reply anyway. I don't want to think about it either and was hoping you had an easy answer.
