Already happening. For many people, coding isn't the only thing they've abandoned. They've also traded science and engineering for LLM punditry. Rather than "focusing on solving problems," as they often claim, they spend their time chasing unscientific debates about which model or magic prompt "performs better." By unscientific, I mean there's nothing measurable, no reproducible methodology, and no way to validate their hypotheses. Or rather, their wild speculations that change every week.
