I'd say as long as we can clearly see the 5% are working better than an LLM, why not strive for it? Shows what humans are capable of, and it's probably achievable to most.

I'm not hanging my hat yet and can still see where LLMs struggle. I think it's the best bet you can make: keep working for the future where you'll still be needed, because you can't prepare for the future where you're not.

I agree about your general assessment, but I don't see my coding skills of, depending on how you count them two or three decades, being needed in 36 months - so I'm trying to upskill LLM piloting, but that also seems a bit of a dead end since LLMs will be perfectly capable of piloting themselves in approximately the same timeframe - we'll see what needs upskilling in by winter...

How this presents, however, I would think, is that being that top 5% and utilizing LLMs will get you further than either alone.

I think that's a reasonable view. Though I personally see LLMs more as replacers, not as tools to utilize.
