When I first saw the OP, panic started to set in that I am fucked and Chat-Completions/LLMs/AI/whatever-you wanna-call-it will soon be able to create anything and eat away at my earning potential. And I will spend my elder years living with roommates, with no wife or children because I will not be able to provide for them. But upon reading that you used a reference implementation, I've realized that you simply managed to leverage it as the universal translator apenwarr believes is the endgame for this new technology [1]. So, now I feel better. I can sleep soundly tonight knowing my livelihood is safe, because the details still matter.

Nope, that will happen, but it also doesn't mean you're fucked. It just means it's time to move up the value stack.

The fear that lead to the black and white thinking expressed in your comment is the real issue.
