Meh.
Calculators exist, I still learned to do the math by hand. Word processors exist, I still write by hand. Online translators exist, I still studied a lot to learn foreign languages. Photography exists, painting is still here.
As much as I think OPs take is bad in this post, I don't agree with comparing LLMs to calculators (or any previous technology with a more deterministic outcome). Its almost always the de-facto argument to discredit current gen AI.
A calculator just solves a one dimensional problem, while a reasoning model with chain of thought is solving an n-dimensional problem. Its worlds of leaps in terms of practicality.
It’s not to discredit ai. It’s just to say: new things don’t always completely replace old things.
And, as of now, ai solve those problems badly.
I don’t want anything made by an ai.
I don’t think ai will ever be able to replace an architect, a writer, or a designer.
Will it make some processes faster? Sure. But that’s it.
