To reiterate an important point: LLM systems don’t have insight and aren’t clever. If they find something, it is only by sucking it out from past utterances of clever humans using ridiculous amounts of energy. There’s likely a limit to what can be done with that.
I don't agree with the framing, but let's say that for whatever reason your conclusion is correct: there’s likely a limit to what can be done to improve LLMs. So what? What are the consequences for GHC development?
It may not be wise to overly rely on LLMs, lose skills this way, and finally have to do things by hand, because reasonably priced LLMs cannot meet our demands anymore. All the best, Wolfgang
