Cool project!
I don't think that necessarily negates any conclusions, but, it doesn't help the author's case.
1. Do piddly algorithm type stuff that I've done 1000x times and isn't complicated. (Could take or leave this, often more work than just doing it from scratch)
2. Pasting in gigantic error messages or log files to help diagnose what's going wrong. (HIGHLY recommend.)
3. Give it high level general requirements for a problem, and discuss POTENTIAL strategies instead of actually asking it to solve the problem. This usually allows me to dig down and come up with a good plan for whatever I'm doing quickly. (This is where real value is for me, personally.)
This allows me to quickly zero in on a solution, but more importantly, it helps me zero in strategically too with less trial and error. It let's me have an in-person whiteboard meeting (as I can paste images/text to discuss too) where I've got someone else to bounce ideas off of.
I love it.
I prefer forgiveness over permission ...
I think a consciousness with access to a stream of information tends to drown out the noise to see signal, so in those terms, being able to "experience" real-time climate data and "instinctively know" what variable is headed in what direction by filtering out the noise would come naturally.
So, personally, I think the answer is yes. :)
To elaborate a little more - when you think of a typical LLM the answer is definitely no. But, if an AGI is likely comprised of something akin to "many component LLMs", then one part might very well likely have no idea how the information it is receiving was actually determined.
Our brains have MANY substructures in between neuron -> "I", and I think we're going to start seeing/studying a lot of similarities with how our brains are structured at a higher level and where we get real value out of multiple LLM systems working in concert.

Seems like these could be related, going to dive into this more! :)
Kurt Godel (or maybe Douglas Hofstadter, rather) would raise an eyebrow. :)
