Now you are just being silly with your comparisons. There is no analogy between those things: * the difference between handwritting a book and typing is the extreme pain you would feel in your hands versus being able to write more in the same time without it * the difference between typing and using your voice could be of a similar magnitude for someone with problems in their hands * the difference between any of those writing methods and using an AI to do it for you, is that you are abstracting YOURSELF from the equation, not the method of writing. It's not analogous, not even from a mountain of distance far. You are not less "bottlenecked" because you don't need to write the thing yourself, you are just not producing it at all, it's more analogous to you guiding the hands of another person with vague instructions, using of their own expressivity to make your book for you, then claiming it was you who wrote it. It's not a bottleneck question, it was never a bottleneck question, and this is the case because code IS the writing, it IS the problem solving area where you need to put your mind to work, not writing a prompt, but coding in a specific and well defined formal syntax.
