Ten years ago they were warning anyone who drove for a living that they'd soon be out of a job. I'm sure the day will come, but I can't help but feel that LLMs are in that same area where we can watch them do impressive things, but they are still a long way away from real autonomy.

I understand your point but anyone who just finished high school I wouldnt recommend to choose to be driver as professional path - unless as a temporary 1-10 years gig. It's just unlikely someone would be still a driver for the next 40 years. People who are already professional drivers for less than 10 years I would say also unlikely gonna do it for the next 30 years as a job - at least majority won't.

And I think situation with self driving cars and LLM is different. For self driving car you need it to be at least 99.99% good to be useful and initial investment is high.

For LLM is enough to be just 90% good and it already scales to millions of inferences at the same time. Investment for user is either free or 20$ per month.
