Companies are refusing to hire or even laying off plumbers because hucksters backed by massive unicorn-chasing investment money told them they can build plumbing faster and cheaper out of cardboard.

A few years from now, there’s going to be a hell of a market for people who can replace cardboard toilets with real ones.

And also for people who can replace carpets. And walls and floors.

This is a post about LLM-generated code.

Capitalism in a nutshell literally.

The scariest thing is that some of these LLMs have managed to pass the Turing test - that would see the real replacement theory.

I suspect their passing the Turing Test is temporary: we use heuristics and experience for detecting the deception, and LLMs temporarily broke those heuristics by being new in our experience. But now that we all know what GPT smells like….
