> it has made me question whether such a thing even exists
I was reading a reddit post the other day where the guy lost his crypto holdings because he input his recovery phrase somewhere. We question the intelligence of LLMs because they might open a website, read something nefarious, and then do it. But here we have real humans doing the exact same thing...
> I guess humans really aren't so special after all
No they are not. But we are still far from getting there with the current LLMs and I suspect mimicking the human brain won't be the best path forward.

I'd wager that a motivation in designing these systems it so they do not make these mistakes. Otherwise what's the point, really.
I think a system too perfect will not show any creativity. Maybe wild new ideas require taking risks which means a system that can invent new things will end up making bad choices.
Our own, and other people's mistakes shape us, and our understanding. What even is perfect, anyway?
I'm not interested in navel gazing. I'm interested in getting my taxes done properly.
