We’ll keep raising the amount of knowledge needed to be employed until it’s no longer sustainable. This is just the nature of capitalism: extracting as much value from someone’s salary as possible.
As a student who graduates this year, I notice that something like 90% of students seem to rely on LLMs.
I’ve seen some students toss in 5+ files of code into GPT just to prompt it over and over again, hoping it produces a desirable output. When it fails too many times they open a new chat and try again. I’ve heard conversations about the best way to prompt the AI to do our assignments for us.
My supervisor once told me that if you want maximize your career earnings, only a masters is worth it. Of course he said this in regards to engineering, but I found it interesting at the time.
