> Whilst it's great to get the time saving from not delegating to a junior (LLMs are much faster at the basic level 1 work) there's going to be this big knowledge gap that you really only gain from actually doing the mundane boring shit.

That might be true, but that's not something for you to worry about as a customer of these services.

I don't worry about how my hairdresser practices either. I just pay for a good (enough) haircut.

> I don't really have an answer to that one other than still giving that work to junior staff, but they will then just utilise an LLM to help complete the job, and rightfully so, I'd have done exactly the same thing.

We can check how other industries have gone through these kinds of transformation before. Eg spreadsheets removed a lot of the worst drudgery that junior accountants and junior bankers used to have to do. But their industries adapted.
