It's demotivating to think that:

- LLMs aren't good at producing original / novel work
- You still need experts to advance that stuff
- It will always be slower to move without using LLMs
- Once an innovation is done though, an innovation can always be scooped up by the LLM users
- "Bro why are you doing all this manually, I just vibe coded that in a weekend"

Will it always be this way? It's depressing in the meanwhile, at least.

โ€œCode/Software has no value since it can be duplicated at no costโ€

The first time I heard this was 20 years ago and this has always been true.

@DevWouter But it has tons of value! It's a non-rivalrous good. And that's GREAT in many ways. I am all for code being a non-rivalrous good.

But I don't feel the situation here is the same as it's been for the last 20 years. I don't feel the same way I've felt about it for the last 20 years.

@cwebber

Economic value which is indeed not the best way to measure value ๐Ÿ˜

Personally I have yet to see a product where the value is increased by LLM.

@DevWouter
It has reduced exchange value due to the absence of scarcity, but it retains its use value.
