As LLMs become better at following instructions and--despite all their shortcomings--close more and more the gap between ideation and execution, one age old adage starts to ring less and less true--that ideas are worth a penny because it's all about execution.

If this shift is true, at least in some industries (like software) then the role of education will switch, finally, from teaching people how to execute well to teach them how to have really good ideas--and even more important, how to know whether an idea is good.

And I'm all for it!
