How many humans can sit down and linearly write a coherent, interesting story? — zero backtracking or revisions!

I’d bet very few if any.

By contrast, when you let the AI do its job in multiple steps and plan ahead, it seems to do much better. (Again, much like humans using a process.)

We’re often comparing apples to oranges evaluating the AI — comparing a single forward pass from the AI to an iterative process for the human.
