I'd compare LLMs to a junior executive. Probably gets the basic stuff right, but check and verify for anything important or complicated. Break tasks down into easier steps.

Uber has been stuck at the same light for like, 20 minutes now. What is he DOING?

I mean... it depends on body type, I would imagine.

It's awesome, actually, like a pun on the sound they make.

One of the things I have learned is that a lot of middle management don't have tangible roles, so they make up for this by recognition, which is usually "presence." So they have meetings to be seen, stay relevant, and look important. Like, how do you measure management as a product? It's a social game, primarily. I'm not saying all or any large percentage of management is like this, but there are a LOT.

"What do you say you DO here, exactly...?" And they start to sweat.

Edit: Clarifying I know there ARE effective ways for an organization to do this, but that doesn't mean they do or even know how :/

When I was in theater camp as a pre-teen, one of our actors was a very enthusiastic foot guy. I had heard of foot fetishes, but never understood them. But this guy was like an overexcited fan boy of feet. My curiosity triggered this guy into a huge brain dump, and one of the things he went on about about how feet were the "true expression of a person's feelings." Feet turned towards you? They like you. One foot pointed away? They don't. He then showed me how girls' feet would match their mood, so no matter what parts they were rehearsing, he could tell their underlying mood: anxiety, sadness, anger, happiness, etc... I have no idea if he was right, but that was my first exposure to another person's fetish. I could only understand it abstractly, but I found it fascinating.

It's pretty scary: I am seeing it in the IT sector as well. It's not just knowledge; anyone can look up things, even Einstein did it. "I never memorize anything that I can look up," he said once, about the why he never memorized cosine tables and such. But it's basic logical flow of thought and problem solving. Like the skills behind the knowledge, that I see less and less of.

Also "without privacy" is also in question, because you could use cloth partitions hanging from a rod; something known to be used in stadiums to separate class.

I often think he's a second grader lying on his oral book report.
