So after years of being gleefully told that AI will replace all jobs an omniscient state of the art model, with heavy assistance, takes more than two weeks and thousands of dollars in tokens to do what child me did in a few days? Huh.

“And, because AI never got any better or any cheaper after that point, sussmanbaka’s wry observation remained true in perpetuity, forever.”

We will only be able to see where the economic chips lie once all the current money games shake out. It's all a bit obfuscated at the moment.

Cost per intelligence is shrinking by something like 100x per year. Even the Gemini flash release would potentially do as well for 1/5th already.

Children are incredibly smart. All of this was fantasy 15 years ago. Comments like yours are amazing to me…

True AI is whatever hasn't been invented yet.

I used to think the same until latest agents started adding perfectly fine features to a large existing react app with just basic input (in English) . Most of the jobs require levels of intelligence below that. It's just a matter of time before agents get to that.

It's about the complexity of the task. Front end apps tend do be much less complex and boilerplate-y than backends, hence AI tends to work better.
