Message: <blockquote data-quote="The Firebird" data-source="post: 9863944" data-attributes="member: 7015803">There have been some statements suggesting this idea in the long run, but I can't imagine anyone doing it seriously prior to profitability.An interesting recent result is <a href="https://www.digitaldigging.org/p/a-lawyer-a-road-inspector-and-a-cardiologist" target="_blank">Anthropic's hackathon</a>, where many winning entries were from folks with little programming experience but a lot of domain knowledge (e.g., a cardiologist). Whether the ability to make 'good enough' software extends to enterprise, I am not sure.Can you share the post? I can't see it on Facebook (no account).I think creatives are in a stronger place than technical workers because they are trying to capture aspects of the human experience that AI won't be able to. Creativity is often about breaking rules in the right way and at the right time, and it has a level of taste that AI can't replicate.The change is instead that many aspects of what are now collaborative creative projects may be done by an individual. Someone with an idea for a movie, for example, can now achieve it without the same budget and without collaborators. They can go solo, as writing a novel would be. (Obviously not entirely solo. Have some charity in your reading of this, please).With technical workers, there are rules and clear standards of success and machines do better at these kinds of constrained environments. There was a recent finding that <a href="https://hbr.org/2026/02/ai-doesnt-reduce-work-it-intensifies-it" target="_blank">AI use intensified work</a> (I think primarily technical work) because practitioners spent less time on relatively easy but time consuming tasks (e.g., data conversion) and more time making the hard decisions (e.g., prioritization) that AI couldn't. The harder-to-quantify something is, the harder it is to automate, so people whose job is to evoke feelings may have the longest legs of all.</blockquote>
