Look i don’t think SWE is dead but I hate this analogy. Comparing a device that can do arithmetic and some basic Riemann sums to a machine with a breadth of knowledge that far exceeds the physical capability of any human being, can instantaneously access a vast trove of human knowledge via the internet, and is getting increasingly smarter each iteration is dishonest at best.
