Huh?
There was no tool that could easily whip up a 300 line script to do something for me when I didn't know how to code, and do it in just seconds.
The topic here is the democratization of a whole set of new abilities. Not just knowledge.
>when I didn't know how to code
....so your only option was to just learn? learn from the freely & vastly available resources? Oh the horrifying tragedy. How elitist. How gatekeeping. To think you had to put in effort.
LLMs have a lot of good and bad, but saying they "democratised" anything is plain bullshit.
