My conclusion from this is: ChatGPT is the new Google, so LLM hints is the new SEO.
They have turned themselves into micro-managers of an idiot savant.
At minimum, still low-IQ code monkeys. Especially since AI research has come in fits and starts and stalls for many decades now.
But a weakly monotonic process rarely remains plateaued for very long, now does it? It only has one direction to respond to any changes in the environment after all. Tomorrow's models will either be the same or they will be smarter.
How much smarter do they need to get for that "low-" prefix to go away then?
Tomorrow, if you keep trying to make them smarter, they might decide to take over; who knows, maybe they'll let you live in a human zoo. I'll probably be the first one to be turned into biofuel.
Gods that hopefully like us enough to keep us around.
Otherwise they just go to Ikea.
Now instead of improving the language in other ways there will be distracting constant pressure to appease the machine. Now call this added “efficiency” with AI, similar to how adtech calls hiring your own director of marketing and paying tons of people who actually work for google with money from your own company coffers “5:1 ROI on advertising investment“.
