But my gripe with your first point is that by the time I write an exact detailed step-by-step prompt for them, I could have written the code by hand. Like there is a reason we are not using fuzzy human language in math/coding, it is ambiguous. I always feel like doing those funny videos where you have to write exact instructions on how to make a peanut butter sandwich, getting deliberately misinterpreted. Except it is not fun at all when you are the one writing the instructions.

2. It's very questionable that they will get any smarter, we have hit the plateau of diminishing returns. They will get more optimized, we can run them more times with more context (e.g. chain of thought), but they fundamentally won't get better at reasoning.
