So far, the LLMs I've used need problems to be fairly specifically scoped, or they don't produce the correct solution. Scoping problems correctly is a different skill-set than implementation, but it's still a technical skill that is expected from mid-level and higher engineers.
Yep and I just ran a simple enterprisey "ambiguity" bench on the big three (US) model providers: same ambiguous initial-prompt with same clarifications and pushback prompt sequence afterwards.
The edge of correct/better when facing ambiguity is very fuzzy, all models from the past 6 month or so have similar random ways of spinning between too-literal avenues and oddly misplaced misled fixations. Taking the right initiatives in face of uncertainty is definitely AGI, and its not there, and perceptrons + attention layers just ain't got what it takes no matter how hard you push.
The best I've come up with is to ask an agent to come up with questions to help get to a focused design. But it still needs me in the loop for that.
