| I think we have a couple of years of "being good at talking to the LLM about your field of expertise" being a useful human skill, until that too gets washed away |

| Maybe? At the end of the day, even if they are some insane oracle (pun intended), they're still bounded by training data and how it relates to the real world. Even if they're a near perfect tool, we are still the interface between them and our lived experience. If that stops being the case then why do we care about the output? This assumes it doesn't graduate to just killing all of us and doing it's own thing, but within this paradigm it doesn't really have goals. |

Until they are embedded into automatons that can interact with the world. (To be clear, I'm both on board with this, and I think it's the natural progression. Currently they are bounded by their training set, but interaction with the world is the imperative for theory -> test -> analysis -> update that is essential for growth and creativity.) | |

| ▲ | HNisCIS 8 hours ago | parent [-] | | Yes, but the point being for the LLM to be useful to us it has to do something relevant for us and we have to define what is relevant. Even if you view them as fully human level or beyond (in terms of agency) there's still some purpose that we have to help provide them with. To put it differently, if you have some idealized model in front of you that can do anything a team of humans can do, what do you say to it? It's still just a model that takes an input and provides an output. | | |
| ▲ | rlt 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | I don't understand. You will ask it for something you want, and instead of needing to pay a the team of people with expertise, it will just do it for you. Someone will still need to ask for something (or maybe it will just run autonomously making things it thinks we'll like) but it won't require any expertise in the field. |
