>I think the rest of us should rest easy knowing that LLM's can't (and maybe were never meant to) tackle the tacit-knowledge-filled, human-system-centric, ambiguously-defined-problem-space jobs most mortals work.

A Statement all but guaranteed to look incredibly short sighted by 2030.

The past few years has seen a great rise in casuals reminding us of AIs limitations only to be proven wrong in 6 months. I don't think we're close to AGI, but in 2 years I've gone from AI doubter to AI convert. It's not perfect, but I don't need it to be.

The real question to me is if the system can pay for itself. Economics are racing against efficiency gains and it's anyone's guess which wins.

  • what are those limitations we're talking about? seems most of those the original limitations that people complained about were resolved through workarounds like tools and skills which are more software-engineering than llm advancement.

    • Long-term planning, context poisoning, task length reliability, etc. Improving all the time but certainly still constraints.
