I think you've misunderstood the analogy. Just ignore it, analogies mostly break down anyways.

> a model capable of completing the tasks assigned to it

The thing is, the "task assigned to it" is changing with improved capabilities. If everyone around you in 2036 is using general AI to do amazing stuff, you will probably have little interest in vibe coding slop like it's 2026.

Only if you give in to fads and FOMO.

The core tasks people need change at a much smaller pace.

Analogies are like metaphors, they’re illustrative rather than literal.
