Personally I'd like to see the model get better at coding, I couldn't really care less if it's able to be 'creative' -- in fact i wish it wasn't. It's a waste of resources better used to _make it better at coding_.
Thing is dear people, we have limited resources to get out of this constraining rock. If we miss that deadline doing dumb shit and wasting energy, we will just slowly decline to preindustrial at best and that's the end of any space society futurism dreams forever.
We only have one shot at this, possibly singular or first sentients in the universe. It is all beyond priceless. Every single human is a miracle and animals too.
