I like your phrasing - "any task limited in scope enough to be a 'benchmark'". Exactly! This is the real gap with LLMs, and will continue to be an issue with o1

I like your phrasing - "any task limited in scope enough to be a 'benchmark'". Exactly! This is the real gap with LLMs, and will continue to be an issue with o1 -- sure, if you can write down all of the relevant context information you need to perform some computation, LLMs should be able to do it. In other words, LLMs are calculators! I'm not especially nerve-wracked about being a knowledge worker, because my day-to-day doesn't consist of being handed a detailed specification of exactly what is required, and then me 'computing' it. Although this does sound a lot like what a product manager does!
