Do we have any field where humans have ray of hope to use their cognitive abilities in LLM era?

Why should such hope exist? When the motor vehicles were invented, humans have lost the speed race completely. Yet, nobody lamented and people still did foot racing for fun.

So will it be with AI tools. If these tools become so good, then it will be used. People who want to exercise their minds can still do so, even if that cannot produce economic value.

  • Foot racing was never a broad source of income for humans. There is a massive difference. The question will be: what economic value can humans produce in the future with AI tools? There is a chance that the answer is "not much". That is the scary part.

The superintelligence moment happened for chess in 1997 and today more people are using their cognitive abilities in chess than ever before.

  • Looking back through history, there has never been a breakthrough like this, one that impacts virtually every known industry simultaneously with the potential for a 10x impact.

Any field where there is no external validator (formal proofs, compiler, rule sets) for AI to leverage and real world evaluation isn't easily digitalized. Add in a bit of physical interaction and it is done.
