    To me, the problem is not about what AI is good or bad at, but about institutional knowledge. If AI is doing the coding, writing, designing, or whatever else, you slowly lose the ability to a) learn from others in the org because nobody knows what you need to learn anymore and b) actually improve stuff because there's no more "what good looks like"

      which begs the question - will institutional knowledge not matter before long?

        it will not. Dead Internet Theory - eventually everything will be slop. And even if you care to avoid the slop, there is no place left for anyone to differentiate from the market slop offering because the 10-20% that actually care about not being fed slop are not enough to sustain a market.

          Really it seems more like late stage capitalism and things that were already occurring before gen AI in all markets, not just internet based things.
