This argument doesn't really make sense. Imagine if someone said "You really need to learn assembly language for the VAX! Someday we'll have Windows 11 on a completely different architecture which is nothing like the VAX, but if you don't learn it now you're not gonna make it!"<p>Either what we have now is important and will be used 20 years from now and you should learn it, or things are improving so fast that our future interface will be very different.<p>How many of the "prompt-engineering" tricks that people gained from 2 years ago are relevant today? Almost none? So why should anyone waste their time on something that isn't very good today?<p>Use LLMs. Try them out for sure. But don't buy into the VC hype. They're just trying to 10x their money by spreading FUD.
Invoking "ngmi" here is kind of funny given that it was coined by crypto bros to assert that <i>their</i> technology would inevitably cause a tectonic shift, and anyone who didn't embrace it ASAP would be left in the dust. How's that one working out?
