>What can LLMs never do?
Produce convincingly bad digital paintings.
I teach digital painting. Some of the students have incorporated AI into their working process, which I support. Others have tried to cheat by simply copying AI generated output. Such cases are super-easy to spot: they carry the visual signature of AI art (which are mostly scrappings from artstation). This visual signature seems impossible to override. If only there was a way that AI could produce digital images bad enough to pass as genuine student output.
that's an interesting statement, i've always considered experts to be people who can do things simultaneously better and worse than a beginner
my favorite example is when a great dancer who tries to mockingly mimic a bad dancer still looks good and does it hilariously
Many experts completly forget what it was like to be a beginner. That's why I've found it's generally best for absolute beginners to learn from an apprentice, and an apprentice to learn from a journeyman, because they still remember what it was like to be at the previous level.

I agree. This reminds me of the so-called school of kung fu called drunken master. There can be a can't-give-a-fuck about someone who is at the peak of their abilities.
They can't even produce high profile art. Thankfully, and they won't be able to in the next 10 years. Thankfully.
