The liquid vs. plastic nature of AI, the conversion of documents into machine-first formats, and the future of trades in an LLM-mediated world are all topics of interest.
A small note about carpentry: the range of minor repairs executable by homeowners will grow and reduce demand for the handyman range of household repairs. OTOH, I have seen apprentices successfully use YouTube to learn new skills, which would likely extrapolate to AI use.
I would hypothesize a K-shaped job market. Tradespeople using technology to deepen their skill sets will continue to find work as they grow their range of competencies. Those who struggle with this approach will become a social and political issue in need of a solution.
Right, I should’ve made that jump to super-tradies. For eg a carpenter that can do basic plumbing or electrical, or a carpenter who speeds up their apprenticeship with LLMs

That’s my hope at least. We need to see how things play out.
Jeez-something missing here. LLMs need to be trained, so a human needs to write those manuals, recipes, etc. First, eh?
I addressed this pretty explicitly in the post
Sorry-i’d just had the time to skim it. Thanks for the correction. I’ll go back snd read carefully.
