> The yardstick is the peformance of humans in the real world on a specific task.

Humans make humans errors, that we can anticipate, recognize, couter, and mitigate. And the rise of deterministic automation was because they help with the parts that are more likely to generate an error. The LLMs strategy always seems like solving a problem that is orthogonal to business objectives, and mainly serves individuals instead.

Almost all deterministic automation also has error rates. The error rates were higher in the past to the order of magnitudes, but we got better at creating reliable software.

We’re judging an entirely new segment of development after only 2 years of it being actively in public. And overall, LLMs have gotten exponentially better.
