> LLMs immediately and completely displace the bread-and-butter replacement-tier illustration and design work that makes up much of that profession, and does so by effectively counterfeiting creative expression. An coding agent writes a SQL join or a tree traversal. The two things are not the same.

In what way are these two not the same? It isn't like icons or ui panels are more original than the code that runs the app.

Or are you saying only artists are creating things of value and it is fine to steal all the work of programmers?
