> writing was never the bottleneck. Understanding was.

Well put. This insight is worth repeating in every discussion on the subject, from software engineering to mathematics.

The problem is that understanding is not the product being sold. The business model is for everyone to become consumers of what the magical genie generates, where the "understanding" is kept on the side of the model providers. This ensures a future generation of consumers dependent on someone else to provide the understanding.

Otherwise, you can create your own answers based on actually understanding the code, theorem, proofs, etc. Smart consumers of LLMs will use them to increase their own knowledge and understanding, so that the service is augmenting their intelligence, not replacing it.
