alt Hacker NewsYou are confusing the job with a subset of tasks. Some tasks can be automated, some won't. That doesn't mean LLMs, which cannot tell how many r's are in strawberry, will replace anyone.

But most of us live in America in 2026. There are a lot of interests that don't give a shit about you who would love if you to got your medical care from a machine that "cannot tell how many r's are in strawberry". And there a lot of useful idiots with no real medical issues who will loudly claim the machine is great.
I'm not. I understand the difference and also that through improvements to the core models as well as harnesses, LLMs are able to handle an increasing share of tasks. I also understand that these things will continue to improve until AI can automate entire jobs.
You, on the other hand, are confusing LLMs from the past with current SOTA LLMs, which can tell how many rs are in strawberry.
