Oooh yeah that's really good framing. Humans have been building machines that outperform humans for hundreds of years at this point, but all in problems which are extremely well specified. It's not surprising LLM's are also great in these well specified domains.

One difference between intelligence and artificial intelligence is that humans can thrive with extremely limited training data, whereas AI requires a massive amount of it. I think if anybody is worried about being replaced by AI, they should look at maximising their economic utility in areas which are not well specified.

Exactly. I would not want to have a pure math career or a performance engineering career in 10 years.
