> The agents only have to be better than we are and we’re not very good. Same argument as self-driving.
Self-driving requires less holistic thinking than imagining, building, and evolving large scale systems. It requires abilities that LLMs do not have. It requires non-symbolic reasoning, intuition, etc. that are beyond LLMs.
Intuition is just system 1 thinking. Nothing that doesn't already exist.
Current self-driving systems also require periodic manual intervention from remote operators https://www.reuters.com/technology/waymo-defends-use-remote-... , for that matter.
