I think you may be having a failure of imagination. That generation will be creating additional tooling to use this wherever possible, and taking advantage of any interoperability they or their peers can hack onto any interface. Our generation will be hesitant but they will not be, and many of the upcoming generation will have a deep understanding of where LLM’s have appropriate vs. awkward application.
