> Are you suggesting programmers aren't solving real-world problems?
Mostly not by a long shot, if you reduce everything to its essence we're not solving real world problems anymore, just putting masks in front of some data.
And no only a fool may believe people from El Salvador or people from other countries benefited from Bitcoin/Cryptos. ONLY the government and the few people involved benefited from it.
Lastly you didn't get my point, let me re iterate it: an coding assistant llm has it own strong biases given training set, an llm trained for doing therapy would have the same bias, each training set has one, and given the biases the code assistance llms currently have(slop dataset=slop code generation) i'd still rather prefer a human programmer as well i'd stil prefer a human therapist
