alt Hacker NewsI think this is a good point but we should see AI at the person level. For your example, not all companies/people manufacture, but everyone has access to AI. Soon a lot of people will lose skills to AI and at some point we would need them back and there won't be many skilled workers with it
I've been taking a "help me help myself" approach to interactions with LLMs. I might run my plan on how I'm going to build something past an AI asking it to critique it. I then incorporate that info into my original plan, or not. However, I am responsible for the design, I write the code. I started doing this because for decades I've been building my own programs since I learned to code just for the sheer fun of it (like many here) and I don't want to give that up to LLMs. I might as well let them play my video games for me.
I wish more people would at least consider this idea.
