> So I'll say it again, AI will win a fields medal for before managing a McDonald's simply because there are enough big problems within arms reach than their current capacity to plan over time

AI can manage a McDonald’s already. If manage means directing humans to do something to ensure the store is running. If manage means running robots, then yes maybe that is 5 years away but just directing humans to run a store, that is possible right now.

No it can't. Show me a business which uses in context learning to manage a McDonald's

Well that’s a problem of incentives. Why would a manager outsource their own job to an AI?

It's not a problem of incentives. Every executive wants to inject LLMs everywhere these days. If they haven't somewhere it means that it does not work.

Every executive wants to inject LLMs downstream from their own job. As you get away from execution and toward management the incentive to innovate gets less and less as management at the same level.
