I think that ultimately, the largest change brought on by LLMs will be due not to their intelligence, but to their tenacity.

If you had an infinite number of monkeys, each with a typewriter, one would eventually write Shakespeare. If you had an infinite number of college-educated interns, each with access to all the public records you can possibly get via FOIA, one would eventually get enough evidence to prove that a top politician is cheating on their partner, evidence which you could use to blackmail that politician.

You don't need that much intelligence to do that, you just need somebody who's willing to dedicate their life to knowing everything there is to know about that guy from Louisiana.

With humans, the amount of money you'd need to pay such a person just isn't worth the reward. With LLMs, it may very well be.
