I think you might be falling for selection bias. I guess you are surrounding yourself with a lot of smart people. "tinker around and figure things out" is definitely something certain humans (bad at reasoning) can't do. I already prefer the vision model when it comes to asking for a picture description (blind user) over many humans I personally know. The machine is usually more detailed, and takes the time to read the text, instead of trying to shortcut and decide for me whats important. Besides, people from the english speaking countries do not have to deal with foreign languages. Everyone else has to. "Aber das ist ja in englisch" is a common blocker for consuming information around here. I tell you, if we dont manage to ramp up education a few notches, we'll end up with even higher stddev when it comes to practical intelligence. We already have perfectly normal seeming humans absolutely unable to participate on the internet.
