Comparison of LLMs/AI with the industrial revolution is totally incorrect.
The industrial revolution automated repetition of a human design. You put a human-created design in the machine and it repeated it exactly, whether it was cutlery or paperclips or engine parts or biscuits or books.
LLMs/AIs pretend to automate the design stage, but in reality they are just stealing human designs and laundering them so the designer gets no credit or compensation. If humans stop designing, the LLMs/AIs stop working as they have no ability to design things themselves. LLMs/AIs are just labour theft laundering machines.
