> but so much code writen is just the human brain doing the same autocomplete style work that LLMs can do now.

That's the part they are really good at. But they are really bad at taking complex decisions. Most of them are just guesses from a finite amount of solutions they were trained on, or from options they have in context.

Indeed. Humans are well known for being good at "taking complex decisions" for which they have no "training", "options" or "context".

[andix]

Humans have a much bigger "context window". They remember many things they did an hour ago, a week ago, or even years ago.

[godwinson__4-8]

Yes, and your ability to remember a relatively few things that happened years ago is predicated on your ability to also forget most things that happen to you - like what you had for dinner last week. Good thing we have technology to fill in the gaps.

And nothing about this makes your initial comment any less goofy. Anyone who has ever had to make a difficult decision knows more than half the battle is preparation. Where do you think complex decisions come from? Have current events left you with the impression that people just waltz into idk say the Situation Room and just big brain their way through world events? That's how the current administration seems to think the world works, with quite predictable results.

Society is already algorithmic. To optimize for humans being dumb. AI is nothing more than another advance along this continuum. No one is impressed by your ability to remember something years ago, many if not most mammals have the same capability. Human recall is also notoriously bad in many cases - see numerous studies on the reliability of eye witnesses testimony.

AI is smart because most people are dumb. Come to terms with the fact that your anthropocentrism need not be based on a notion of intellectual supremacy and you'll be a far less tedious person to deal with.

You didn't convince me, that I'm the tedious person to deal with here.

[godwinson__4-8]

Clearly the LLMs lack of pride is also a deficiency in your view.

Humans also generally have the will to live.

[godwinson__4-8]

Indeed. It's almost like the LLM was the one that invented the "tactical" nuke in the first place.
