alt Hacker News> The AI is coming for that too.
That's where we fundamentally disagree about.
Yes, AI is coming for solution formulation, absolutely, but not all of it, because it is actually a statistical machine with context limit.
Until the day LLMs are not statistical machine with a context limit, this will hold. Someone need to make something that has intent and purpose, and evidently now not by adding another 10T to the LLM parameter count.

Yours is a “God of the gaps” argument. You will remain technically correct (the best kind of correct!) long after the statistical machine has subsumed your practical argument, context limit and all.

And the human mind is not?

So are humans.
Machines have surpassed humans by magnitudes in many capabilities already (how many billion multiplications can you do per second?)
And I argue that current LLMs have surpassed many of my capabilities already.
For example GPT/Opus can understand and document some ancient legacy project I never saw before in minutes. I would take a week+ to do the same and my report would probably have more mistakes and oversights than the one generated by the LLM.
