Understandable but why would you assume people will stop getting a taste for hacking just because LLMs exist? Why will they stop just because of that? Technology will make them lazy just because they can prompt an AI now? I think the human drive for excellence and tinkering cannot just be vanished just because LLMs exist.
And I don't under the fat and out of shape part of the comment. Being in shape and being good at coding are not equal things in many aspects:
1. Most people learn code for employment. Most people get fit for personal reasons.
2. It takes considerable physical effort to get in shape. Getting good at code requires considerable mental effort but it is a very different form of effort.
You can claim LLMs will make people dumber and lazy. But that doesn't mean working out and being fit = being really good at computers in real life.
Lastly, you seem to have a cynical view of the world and believe in a merit-based structures but most people don't generally become super fit or hackers. Its always a small percentage of the population in general and most likely will always be. It is debatable if the availability of an LLM can reduce them to 0.
