Can we please stop reducing human activity to "taste", conferences, talks, "understanding"? I think this is a very unproductive trap.

There is a world where we get to the edge of AI capabilities, and we build on top of that. As humans have always done with every new technology.

There is another more pessimistic view where LLMs just replace every human capability, and our economic overlords dont need us for anything and we just eat the small pieces of bread that are left.

This comes down to the fact of:

is human existence/intelligence just the simbolic representations we make in our brain? Or are they just a tool?

I tend to think of Godels incompleteness theorem as a proof that on the limit LLMs are useless. The real question for me is at what point approaching this limit becomes an issue, and if it has any practical consequences.
