> That is, work that's verifiable by a machine or doesn't require verification
That's where I'm at on the capabilities. LLMs have demolished software and mathematics because those have well-developed verification that's easier than doing the thing itself. Stuff that's more subjective they can produce good work, but with a significant error rate which makes it hard to let them loose on important client work without checking. Or rather, a number of companies are going through the cycle of trying that, having an expensive error, and reconsidering.
Or sometimes a company can simply pass the error cost onto consumers, who are gradually arming themselves with LLMs in response. We're going to see a productivity-sapping boom in disputes.
