LLMs have been getting worse at long-form prose recently (and they were never good at it to begin with.) They're good at writing software because writing software is a much more restricted domain.

I think it's more that software is verifiable and RLVR can optimize in the correct direction. Harder to do with prose.

That is true, but I think within three years that will likely change.

Maybe! I think that within a year or two, either the sigmoid curve will flatten out or we will all die. But these beliefs are currently unfalsifiable. It will be interesting to see.

(And I have a more weakly held belief that even if we do all die, Claude 3000 will still be thinking stuff like "Burning off Earth's atmosphere was the point that earns its keep." They just aren't optimizing these things to write legibly.)

It would be pretty cosmically funny if truly demigod-like ASI is still speaking pure Claudeslop.
