they don't believe it, they are placating an unease in society from people that know they are replaced already. there is a group that plays devil’s advocate with the aforementioned people, and it is convenient to agree with the devil’s advocates.

but there are lots of specialists I used to contract with in the ideation phase that I no longer do.

professional logo designers

testing out names of potential services

designers for landing pages for websites

additional coders for landing pages of websites

templates for powerpoint presentations

graphics for them

many many billable hours for lawyers for things I would have otherwise asked them about and thats totally a risk I’m willing to shoulder. now I simply have them implement unless they see not able to corroborate the legal view

some of these ideas generate revenue and I can get to that point far faster and cheaper

I can already code in the latest frameworks and have high proficiency in most media suites, but the media creation was not where I specialize or want to spend time on

so there is a general denial thats kind of useful, if a big company wanted tax breaks from a municipality they can say “look, jobs, we’re big on that”

but everyone knows whats happening

You’ll be replaced soon too because right now your click buttoning things to save money, once everyone can click button their app idea into prod?

Yes it is a good motivator to entrench revenue streams right now

What does this mean and how do you plan to entrench revenue streams where the barrier to cloning your products is next to zero?

By making enough right now
