Ok yes that quote from the suno CEO is rediculous, billions of people make music for the simple joy of it.
But that dynamic is way less true in other areas. People generally write code to build useful products, not for fun. As a software engineer who uses AI to write 100% of my code these days, I can tell you that LLMs are not replacing my reasoning at all. They are replacing the menial parts of the job (memorizing syntax, reading documentation, finding relevant examples... Essentially "plumbing"). This leaves much MORE room for creativity and reasoning in software development.
Every dev I know is experiencing this... The job requires way more deep thinking and architectural creativity now. Devs who lean on LLMs to think for them are getting fired, as AI slop is so easy to spot.
