It's almost like LLMs are another tool with strengths and weaknesses rather than a super human intelligence.

Its exactly what it is, a tool. Use it correctly it works fine but if you are not careful you can shoot yourself in the foot.

> rather than a super human intelligence

That's a strawman (or at least a weakman): only a very small number of people (perhaps overrepresented online) thinks current agents are superhuman at programming in practice.

Which is of course not the same group as those who expect new models to become superhuman in months/years.

  • And of course the whole point of tools is being superhuman, compared to humans without those tools. E.g. compilers are better than humans at converting C into assembly. "Just a tool" doesn't mean much.
