1. You seem to think that non programmers don't ask LLMs to program for them. Maybe that's why you're comfortable here thinking you're definitely will keep being in demand. Believe me they do ask an LLM to write for them various tools and bots and what LLM writes can in turn consume tokens like crazy be agentic or whatever the latest hype word is.

2. even without that uploading a resume is not "write emails based on a number of docs and spreadsheets and other emails and Slack chats plus some websites and iterate on it multiple times". one of those requests can easily be a month worth of your resume uploads at that rate.

Because they largely do not. Are you actually under the impression that the average person is using chatbots to program? That’s wayyy off.

>Maybe that's why you're comfortable here thinking you're definitely will keep being in demand.

I’ve made no such claim, this a complete non-sequitur.

The average person does not do this. Come on, dude.

>even without that uploading a resume is not "write emails based on a number of docs and spreadsheets and other emails and Slack chats plus some websites and iterate on it multiple times".

It’s much closer to the average usage. All of that is still far less than agentic coding.

> using chatbots to program

They don't use chatbots to program. They use chatbots to get shit some. Sometimes that involves a program.

You know how a regular person can simply prompt a chatbot to generate a chatbot for them that would automate dating (incl messaging) and they get the full thing with handholding about what to press to get it running? Yeah. (If your model can't do it yet then try %someothermodel% or wait for a couple months.)

Your assumption that no one surely ever uses this for actual work purposes is funny. imagine you're preparing some slides and you need to process some data into it and the thing generates a script to do it. now imagine that generated script also calls some chatbot api and so on;)
