Getting a bit philosophical, I believe that the problem of 'defining a problem completely' is where the practical application of 'how then should we live?' gets self-referential. Startups spend inordinate amounts of time and money trying to figure out their customers' problems, drilling down, pivoting, etc. It's the challenge of silicon valley.

And the more one increases the search space the more primary that question of defining the problem becomes. Whether the execution is handled by chatGPT or a human coder, it looks to me like defining the problem we want to solve is the majority of our current frontier.
