The people who've created large language models (LLMs) to power artificial intelligence (AI) are now using them to code better LLMs. If LLMs are now so good at coding that they can create their own better versions, who needs coders anymore? Are the only jobs left in the software industry the ones for LLM prompters? In 5-10 short prompts, they have to tell the LLM what new software agent to create. How long will it take for LLMs to learn to prompt themselves?
We still believe that AI is artificial but not intelligent. The output of LLMs sounds intelligent, but these models don't have a clue about what words actually mean. Nevertheless, so far this year, the stock market has been discounting a scenario in which AI is our Frankenstein monster. We created it, and it will soon turn on us humans.
