It doesn't change the fact that much of what (I think) he prides in himself in is getting commoditised.

LLMs dissolved your brain if you think they commoditize what a guy like this[0] prides in himself.

I would seriously consider if you've developed an imaginary caricature in your mind that you apply to people you don't know. Further, I would consider if any living person actually lives up to it.

On the one hand, I admire (at some level) you sticking to your guns here, willing to take on all comers. On the other, though, I don't entirely understand the inference that you're drawing from the piece; what, exactly, is getting commoditized?

What he prides himself in (in this context) is craft, which LLM use probably can enable, but definitely isn't commoditized by the kind of vibe coding that Garry Tan is doing.

Yes, people can continue to use their commoditized AI girlfriends while others prefer real ones.

Jesus Christ, even AI websites are just garbage, and that is the lowest form of programming.
