Human-out-of-loop clothing has been a thing for awhile now. And if business only wants to wear one-size-fits-all t-shirts and tube socks, then they are in for a treat.
Those that need something more bespoke, that fits them better, that isn't disposable because the problems it's trying to solve aren't disposable... they might still need the tailor.
I know a few human programmers who would make really good LLMs. And they seem unable to come up with non-absurd code at all. If you define the specs with enough details that they haven't screwed it up, then you're at a point where you've basically already written the software anyway. Should I be worried that robot programmers will do any better?
