I’ll comment here, rather than the other discussion we were having. To answer your question here, you don’t. Here’s why: Do you farm everything you eat? Do you weave the textiles that make your clothes? Do you smith the shoes that go on your horse? Do you form the bricks that made your house yourself? Do you harvest fire wood to cook your food? Do you tan leather to make belts and shoes? Do you No. And why? Because technological improvements made the artisinal version of that work unnecessary to be largely done by artisans. Not that we don’t still have artisans doing these things. And not that we have every single article of clothing on Earth made by machines. Coders are in the same plight that cobblers were in 100+ years ago. And I’ve been to a cobbler in the last year! But only because I really love this one pair of great boots that can be resoled. I don’t go there for running shoes and flip flops. The part that feels like betrayal to coders is that the LLMs came from their own kind.
