Uh, if we do finally invent AGI (I am quite skeptical, LLMs feel like the chatbots of old. Invented to solve an issue, never really solving that issue, just the symptoms, and also the issues were never really understood to begin with), it will be able to do all of the above, at the same time, far better than humans ever could.

Current LLMs are a waste and quite a bit of a step back compared to older Machine Learning models IMO. I wouldn't necessarily have a huge beef with them if billions of dollars weren't being used to shove them down our throats.

LLMs actually do have usefulness, but none of the pitched stuff really does them justice.

Example: Imagine knowing you had the cure for Cancer, but instead discovered you can make way more money by declaring it to solve all of humanity, then imagine you shoved that part down everyones' throats and ignored the cancer cure part...
