Can we please stop reducing human activity to "taste", conferences, talks, "understanding"? I think this is a very unproductive trap.
There is a world where we get to the edge of AI capabilities, and we build on top of that. As humans have always done with every new technology.
There is another more pessimistic view where LLMs just replace every human capability, and our economic overlords dont need us for anything and we just eat the small pieces of bread that are left.
This comes down to the fact of:
is human existence/intelligence just the simbolic representations we make in our brain? Or are they just a tool?
I tend to think of Godels incompleteness theorem as a proof that on the limit LLMs are useless. The real question for me is at what point approaching this limit becomes an issue, and if it has any practical consequences.

We don't build on top of that. No need for us to. AI does. That's sort of the whole point of this endeavor is it not? Humans need not apply.
I know that is the whole point. But i may dream of being as tall as a house, but it does not matter how hard i dream, it wont happen.
In my experience, every new model release allows me to go further, although every time i see every time the limitations, and i identify where i add value. And this value gets bigger every time.
But on the other hand, every model release reduces the amount of people that are able to value this "added value", because it requires more skills.
So we have the paradox that the added value i can bring on top gets bigger and bigger, but the perception of the economic value for the majority of the population gets smaller.
