Llm's do have discipline and persistence, though.

It’s no diff to an educated human.

Stored potential.

But will that potential be converted that contributes to the economy..? That requires other traits.

Might be focus, might be discipline, might be the need to get revenge lmao.

This is what the llm-boosters miss. Progress is willed into existence.

AI / LLMs are not intelligence .. they are just a prediction engine that has been branded as 'intelligence' by marketing employees

At the end of the day it is still making a best guess at what the user wants based on data it has seen before.

It still requires someone smarter than the output to be able to evaluate if the result is any good, or just hand waving.
