Yeah, like soon everyone will be a poet, or a multi-linguist, or a song writer, academic, copywriter, artist, counselor, etc.

That’s a good way to think about it. AI can help me translate languages, but I’m definitely not a translator.


Depends how critical computers are to one's life, I think. I wouldn't call myself a cook, but I need to eat, so I can make a mean bowl of pasta when it comes down to it. Given another five-ten years of development, I expect tooling to develop that lets everyone automate computers to a degree previously reserved for professional programmers, akin to what the microwave oven did for cooking. The ability to microwave a hot pocket doesn't remotely make me a cook, but I won't starve, either.


Reading that I thought everyone could be a series of APIs. We are all experts at something. Something like: when was building X at the end of Y street demolished?
