Comment on Nearly half of U.S. adults believe LLMs are smarter than they are.

An llm simply has remembered facts. If that is smart, then sure, no human can compete.
Now ask an llm to build a house. Oh shit, no legs and cant walk. A human can walk without thinking about it even.
In the future though, there will be robots who can build houses using AI models to learn from. But not in a long time.

3d-printed concrete houses are already a thing, there’s no need for human-like machines to build stuff. They can be purpose-built to perform whatever portion of the house-building task they need to do. There’s absolutely no barrier today from having a hive of machines built for specific purposes build houses, besides the fact that no-one as of yet has stitched the necessary components together.
It’s not at all out of the question that an AI can be trained up on a dataset of engineering diagrams, house layouts, materials, and construction methods, with subordinate AIs trained on the specific aspects of housing systems like insulation, roofing, plumbing, framing, electrical, etc. which are then used to drive the actual machines building the house. The principal human requirement at that point would be the need for engineers to check the math and sign-off on a design for safety purposes.

If you trained it on all of that it wouldn’t be a good builder. Actual builders would tell you it’s bad and you would ignore them.
LLMs do not give you accurate results. They can simply strong along words into coherent sentences and that’s the extent of their capacity. They just agree with whatever the prompter is pushing and it makes simple people think it’s smart.
AI will not be building you a house unless you count a 3D printed house and we both know that’s overly pedantic. If that were the case a music box from 1780 is an AI.
