Cheaper always wins.

But besides that, the LLM is less likely to demand unscheduled time off - especially as a fraction of the hours it can put in. If I have a family emergency once per year, and I need my eight hour day off, I've just removed 1/200 of my yearly output potential. The LLM would need to be down for over 400 hours per year to get to that type of output reduction. Realistically, that is unlikely to happen.



The curious thing about this, though, is that of course you can start by replacing software engineers with it, but how far away are you going to be from being able to replace a CEO with it? I would say not that far away.
