> This pattern has already played out in chess and go. For a few years, a skilled Go player working in collaboration with a go AI could outcompete both computers and humans at go. But that era didn't last. Now computers can play Go at superhuman levels. Our skills are no longer required. I predict programming will follow the same trajectory.

Both of those are fixed, unchanging, closed, full information games. The real world is very much not that.

Though geeks absolutely like raving about go and especially chess.

Yeah but, does that actually matter? Is that actually a reason to think LLMs won't be able to outpace humans at software development?

LLMs already deal with imperfect information in a stochastic world. They seem to keep getting better every year anyway.
