Your LLM is only as good as the data going in.

Garbage in, garbage out. Oldest rule in the book, and it still runs the show.

AI makes being average at any skill available to everyone, which makes average work worthless. If you take the time to become incredibly good at what you do you won't have to worry about being replaced.
