No the advantage is that you have context. That context is HUGE. That's why you can't and won't be able to have chat gpt actually do your job for you. You still need to ask it questions. And to even know what questions you need to ask you need to have context.

You don't just need a context, you need to finetune a model around that context since working memory isn't enough. That is what human workers do, they spend the first months finetuning their model around the company context before they can start to provide valuable code.

Once you can pay to get your own fine tuned version of the big LLMs maybe we can start to do real work with these.

Agreed on the first part.

However my point is that having the context and the ability to use it is sooooooo far out of reach for a computer it's unfathomable. In much the same way how life is unfathomable at some level. It's this self referencing infinity that is somehow collapsing into results while being uncollapseable.

Computers can't do that not without something fundamentally different
