> A group of individuals adept with use of such an idiot savant enhanced environment would be incredibly capable. They'd be a force unseen in human civilization before today.

I'm sorry but your comment is a good example of the logical shell game many people play with AI when applying it to general problem solving. Your LLM AI is both an idiot and an expert somehow? Where is this expertise derived from and why should you trust it? If LLMs were truly as revolutionary as all the grifters would have you believe then why do we not see "forces unseed in human civilization before today" by humans that employ armies of interns? That these supposed ubermensch do not presently exist is firm evidence in support of current AI being a dead end in my opinion.

Humans are infinitely more capable than current AI, the limiting factor is time and money. Not capability!

Maybe you are unfamiliar with the term idiot savant?


I am indeed familiar with the term. Savant and expert are not perfect synonyms. That is beside my point anyway.
