It's exactly what the capitalists want: an unskilled workforce that can do productive work with little to no training. Well the question is whether or not the work is actually "productive" in the economic sense, since most of the work I see genAI tools automating are bullshit jobs
Probably worth noting that the onetime prompt engineers were probably working and will return to bullshit jobs, so maybe the trend was a brief scramble for relevance that would have succeeded were it not for the fact that the producers of these tools need the illusion of simplicity and usability to keep their own grifts afloat.
