Exactly right. I made this argument in an unrelated thread:
I gave an example of testing ChatGPT by asking it to write CRC calculation code in ARM assembler. The code worked. It wasn’t as good as mine (slower, inefficient), yet, as you said, as a starting point, it would have been fine.
“This is today, mid 2023. Give it a year or two (maybe less?) and it will be a tool to contend with. People who like to blame everything else rather than their lack of knowledge and experience will not do very well in that world.
Why would I pay someone to do <X> when they bring nothing special to the table?
Here's the huge paradigm shift (at least for me):
I could not care less what someone knows or does not know. I care about the range and breath of their experience and how they approach learning that which you do not know.
Someone like that can use any available tool, including AI tools, to deliver value in almost any domain. Someone who blames others (tools, people, the system, whatever), cannot.
We might just be entering an era in which experience will be shown to have serious value.”
