The mindset of a developer is always to try to find the easiest, laziest pathway to kind of go solve a problem.
And code has a lot of properties on why developers
just from raw training sets to why AI has kind of like had just the amount of data that's available for it to be trained on, the way code's written and software engineering is done, just made it a great candidate for like, for it to be disrupted first.
Then obviously after that, you add transcription, customer support, and some of these easier use cases.
But the challenge is a line share of knowledge work is not as quite as deterministic as writing code.
If you think about the job of like a billing clerk in a freight forwarding company,
Not a lot of inner data on the open internet about that.
The job is pretty messy.
Lots of context that's stored in someone's head.
So those jobs inherently are a bit harder to automate from like a bit harder for like a model to just kind of come and automate.
So that's why you've seen some of the more obvious forms of knowledge work just get automated faster.
Yeah, you don't have to go through these unknown feedback cycles if something's working or not.
Like, for example, what is the best way to go quote a air freight shipment from Shenzhen to Memphis?
Like, there's no right or wrong answer.
Like, every answer is pretty nuanced.
Do you underprice to win the customer over?
Do you price sufficiently high where you're maximizing margin?
Do you say no because delivery expectations are like a bit unrealistic and you risk the service quality?
Do you just not want to work with this customer because you don't think they're like optimal long term?
There's a lot of nuances to a decision like that compared to given this front end design, what is the optimal way to like go and write the software application?
