I agree about skills actually, but it's also obvious that parent is making a very real point that you cannot just dismiss. For several years now and far short of wild AGI promises, the answer to literally every issue with casual or production AI has been something like "but the rate of model improvement.." or "but the tools and ecosystem will evolve.."

If you believe that uncritically about everything else, then you have to answer why agentic workflows or MCP or whatever is the one thing that it can't evolve to do for us. There's a logical contradiction here where you really can't have it both ways.

I’m not understanding your point… (and would be genuinely curious to)? the models and systems around them have evolved and gotten better (over the past few years for LLMs and decades for “AI” more broadly)

oh I think I do get your point now after a few rereads (correct if wrong but you’re saying it should keep getting better until there’s nothing for us to do). “AI”, and computer systems more broadly, are not and cannot be viable systems. they don’t have agency (ironically) to affect change in their environment (without humans in the loop). computer systems don’t exist/survive without people. all the human concerns around what/why remain, AI is just another tool in a long line of computer systems that make our lives easier/more efficient
