I regularly dream of going to pastry school. But it's too physically demanding. I have bakers in my family and I know it's hard and very unglamorous work. Still. I prefer to be screen-free.

Baking is so precise. Robots can probably do it better than human.

Sure, a lot of it is industrialized by now, but there will always be a demand for handmade stuff. At least outside the US...

Its more or less like outsourcing -- we had some very smart foreign developers/lawyers whatever that would work for very little cost, but needed direction and intuition about what problems to actually solve.

LLMs are basically statistical models from my understanding, building on the context of what is requested -- so basically its about feeding those tools, whether its an army of foreign whiz kids or ChatGPT.
