Devil's advocate: The operating intelligence of Opus 4.6 is higher than the average persons and has orders of magnitude more domain knowledge.

If Average Joe were to delegate most of their life decisions to the chatbot, it'd probably turn out better, or in the worst case, more informed.

> The operating intelligence of Opus 4.6 is higher than the average persons

Okay how are we measuring this? We can't even quantify intelligence for humans accurately, let alone compare it to machines. Hell, we can't even really define intelligence.

I mean, humans can learn on the fly and progressively, and currently no LLMs are capable of that. Literally none of them, and no context doesn't count. So if that's the measure, then LLMs sit at a 0 along with rocks and twigs and humans closer to a 1.

Obviously that's not really the measurement, LLMs are quite good. But I don't think we can say, for sure, LLMs are a replacement for humans. They might replace some specific tasks, but humans are not a set of tasks. I'd still rather have 10 engineers than 0 engineers and 10 Claude Code licenses.

Even if true, no one is ever going to do that because of Dunning Kruger, so it's still not magically solving problems.
