> You get average Joe using ai to code or write, the output is still going to be mediocre. It's just gotten easier and faster to produce it.

The value proposition is that the vast majority of what people do is produce mediocre output work product.

99% of people don’t even write code, they do boring things like fill in spreadsheets or tick boxes on TPS reports. Even among “skilled” labor, fields like software engineers are probably copy/pasting code for CRUD apps. The current gen AI is going to be able to trivially replace all those things as it gets put into practice, even if the next gen never materializes.
