I agree with the sentiment, but I believe your motorcycle analogy is a bit flawed.
Bringing a motorcycle to a 5K is obviously cheating. The motorcycle is a factor of 10 faster than its closest competitor. That is not where LLM/AI is currently at. The code generated by AI is not 10 times better than human code. It is just human code cleverly regurgitated.
Comparing AI/LLM to the motorcycle is giving it too much credit. AI is more like a 500CC motorcycle vs a 300CC motorcycle.
Sure they are pretty close, and the human might win once in a while, but the AI has just enough of an advantage that is guaranteed to burn the human out and win 95+% of the time.
