That's what bottom-tier companies always tell me. Last decade it used to be outsourcing. I was getting low balled left and right with phrases like "I can pay a guy from Asia a lot less for the same work".

Now it's LLMs. Same old.

Except now it’s for real.

Outsourcing was and is real too. It had and still does have tradeoffs.

LLM’s have similar if not worse trade offs imo.

LLMs have the massive advantage of low latency. If you have a team on the other side of the clock, you get one cycle a day.

With an LLM, you get a cycle every 2-15 minutes. And LLMs are improving faster than outsourcing companies’ employees.

Latency - yes

LLM’s are also much better at faking it in remarkably unpredictable ways, and are hitting diminishing returns (or even backsliding) on improvements.

And LLM’s can’t actually do anything without humans structuring everything and doing stuff on it’s behalf.
