A fully automated utopia isn't just going to happen. Even with frontier models, the integrations, the evals, the UX, need a lot of work and someone needs to do it. After I've automated this thing I'll move on to the next task, this is what it means to be a software engineer.
It still makes a massive difference for me if they only need a handfull people now.
Generating a good looking UI for example, is so much easier now with LLM.
For a joke I asked ChatGPT yesterday to make a short promoimage for a 'joke' idea i had, it was above avg. I have for sure seen worse Marketing Images than what ChatGPT generated.
It looked similiar to plenty of other Marketing Images but its not that anyone cares.
