overall, too much of this makes sense. The only part I have any objection to is the part about when you're using an AI to make something, you are not steering.

I think you only give up the steering on the how, but the "what" and the "why", which were always the more important parts, in my opinion, are still in your hands.

There has always been tension on that specific point, and it's what made being a programmer in a company you don't own so painful.
