future AI systems based on LLMs and other foundation models might think less like individuals and more like companies. Ironically, LLMs might finally make symbolic AI possible! The way I see it, symbolic AI was always missing a small sprinkle of "general intelligence" too amooth things out, to grease the gears and connect interfaces. I feel like LLMs have that little bit of magical "generality" so we can start building "symbolic" AI systems which produce work by managing a number of black box models. It is like a company: protocols and management structures are a sort of symbolic AI that connects black box humans to eachother.
