I’ve thought of this and even societally outcomes seem pretty bad.
> Replace detailed unique clothes with cookie cutter bland clothes
> Replace a job with craftsmanship and skill to a mind numbing boring job that possesses very little skill
> The machines still do a much worse job than a good tailor, but most of the public don’t care and can’t even judge good quality vs bad.
> We got a lot more clothes and freed a certain class of people to go work on other stuff (this second point is a bit doubtful as in the immediate future they just worked in sweatshops but eventually maybe? )
So yeah kind of a stupid trade in retrospect, I suspect programming will go the same way. We’ll drown in mountains of functional slop, all apps currently will be made by agents. Public will have more software / don’t care and a good human programmer will still clock agents in code quality, which is a subjective aesthetic metric.
