Some people got into coding to code, rather than build things.
If the AI is doing the coding then that is a threat to some people. I am not sure why, LLMs can be good and you can enjoy coding...those things are unrelated. The logic seems to be that if LLMs are good then coding is less fun, lol.
Software jobs pay more than artist jobs because coding builds things. You can still be a code artist on your own time. Nobody is stopping you from writing in assembler.
And chess players stream as their primary income, because there's no money in Chess unless you're exactly the best player in the world (and even then the money is coming from sponsors/partners, not from chess itself).
