That’s just making one person do the job of more than one.

Capitalism has been doing that long before LLM’S.

How do you call bs on one person doing the work that used to take two? It was one person and an intern.

Every company had a secretary pool 60 years ago before word processors allowed people to type by themselves without an extra support person.

I have a few mechanical typewriters I got into as a hobby, it’s not that hard. This is where I’m just like, skill issue. People didn’t want to type, they just liked having secretaries around and were willing to pay for it. Back in the 70’s and earlier they literally thought typing was “women’s work” like sewing because it required high levels of manual dexterity that big tough men were obviously incapable of.

Well that’s everything. If you are an expert you can do it quickly and accurately. Everyone else needs to take more time and will make mistakes. Word Processing software means a single typo doesn’t ruin ten minutes of typing. It enabled regular people without skill to type well enough to do the work themselves.
