Since I ended my career as a wage worker and just sell my own software now, automation is great for me. Even before GPT hype I saw the writing on the wall for relying on a salary and got out so that I could own the value of my labor.
I don’t see my customers being able to one-shot their way to the full package of what I provide them anytime soon either. As they gain that capability, I also gain the capability to accelerate what more value I provide them.
I don’t think automation is the cause of your inability to feed and house yourself if it reduces the labor needed by capital. That’s a social and political issue.
Edit:
I have competitors already cloning them with CC regularly, and they spend more than 24h dedicated to it too
If the capability does arrive, that’s why I’m using what I can today to get a bag before it’s too late.
I can’t stop development of automation. But I can help workers organize, that’s more practical.

What if they are, or worse? Are you prepared for that?
If you point me towards your products, someone can try to replicate them in 24 hours. Sound good?
Edit: I found it, but your website is broken on mobile. Needs work before it's ready to be put into the replication machine. If you'd like I can do this for you for a small fee at my consulting rate (wink emoji).
I’m not sure what your point is. That I should give up because everything can already be replicated? That I shouldn’t use LLMs to accelerate my work? That I should feel bad for using them?
I'm not scared for me, but I'm definitely worried for some of you. You seem weirdly trusting. What if the thing you're counting on is really not all you think it is? So far I'm about as impressed as I am of the spam in my inbox.
There sure is a lot of it, but the best it can do is fool me into evaluating it like it's a real communication or interaction, only to bounce off the basic hollowness of what's offered. What I'm trying to do it doesn't _do_… I've got stuff that does, for instance leaning into the genetic algorithm, but even then dealing with optimizing fitness functions is very much on me (and is going well, thanks for asking).
Why should I care if AI is marching if it's marching in circles, into a wall, or off a cliff? Maybe what you're trying to do is simply not very good or interesting. It'd be nice if my work could get away with such hollow, empty results but then I wouldn't be interested in it either…
As your response is that for someone to find productivity with this tool, the only way you can understand that to be true is for their work to be hollow and the results uninteresting and must be beneath you, I will simply say about the rest of your message: Skill issue
You don't see any issue with the I in this equation falling out of relevance?
Not even a scrap of self-preservation?

All the more reason to not hand-code it in a week.
Idk what you found but it’s an iOS/Mac app

I live for shareholder value.
It feels great to when I’m the only shareholder
Do you think a programmer not using AI will stop it's march forward?
…over a road of bones? Is that your image?

If more people see the cows 4 beef analogy we gain more votes against it.
