One thing I *do* hope we get from the AI nonsense that's flying around everywhere is the death of boilerplate and bullshit privilege-gates like cover letters and entrance essays and such.
In many cases if you have something that can be done by AI it's a sign that thing needs to just die or should be automatic. And yeah, I'm looking *right* at programming languages -- if you have sufficient boilerplate in a language that AI autocomplete is valuable then *fix your language* to remove the need.
