Really the METR report on autonomous agent behaviors is a required read. I think the AI's would only do a tiny percent of their talking to their human. Voice itself is only a limited method that we interact with the world. Imagine the

Being able to logically reason about where to explore a problem space, and then direct thousands of agents on doing just that is a superhuman ability. Hell, we recently did that on accident! The question really boils down to just how far is

This is why it's better to call the underlying technology transformers rather than 'language model'. It can make a model from anything you can digitize and is informational (random noise would not be informational for example
