> LLMs as an extension of human thought: These models can automate and amplify human capabilities but do not introduce new abilities beyond what is already present in human thought processes.
I have toyed with the idea how would the society look like of we have "AI" that is superior to almost all humans in almost all tasks - with the sole exception being the fraction of humans who who are able to create actually new knowledge to humanity and "AI" to exploit. Would be some interesting dynamics if majority of people were completely useless in traditional economic sense, or at best, mindless drones for the physical tasks AI is not (yet) capable of doing.
(Feel free someone to write a novel on this)
