You’re holding on to the intuition (hope) that we are smarter than the LLMs in some hard to define way. Maybe. But it’s getting harder and harder to define a task that humans beat LLMs on. On pretty much any easily quantifiable test of knowledge or reasoning, the machines win. I agree experienced humans are still better on “judgement” tasks in their field. But the judgement tasks are kinda necessarily ones where there isn’t a correct answer. And even then, I think the machines’ judgement is better than a lot of humans.

Is medical diagnosis one of these high judgement tasks? Personally I don’t think so.
