You didn't seem to have a reputable point to address there. Just an assertion.

Perhaps, but the author didn't make that argument. It's definitely easier to quickly vary skill in a model (by switching models) than it is to vary it in humans (by hiring/firing).

I don't see why that's bad. If anything it's better for AI - way easier to say "always use at least Astra/Opus 5.5" than it is to fire your crap employees.

I think some people have had the fortune to never actually work with poor programmers. They exist!
