Love this. "The models are getting better, which means they're going to perform worse on the task".
Same reason employers don't hire people who are "overqualified."
Don't you love this ever increasing pace of improvement?
No, it’s gonna give you the same outcomes just in a way your feeble human mind cannot imagine
This reflects humans. If you need reliability for a clearly defined set of problems you don’t hire a superstar.
They will keep poking at the problem, drive it to directions you did not intend to and ultimately they will be worse at the task.
