I don't know what the technical definition of RSI is, but I think AI needs a good feedback loop for improvement rather than just "thinking" about things in isolation.
I've never seen it solve a problem by "thinking harder", but as soon as I give it access to a feedback loop where it has control it can solve a lot of problems, It sort of feels like brute force, but it's not because it's informed about what it focuses on.

It's the same thing I do, but at machine speed. I had Claude Code help me figure out a sysadmin type problem in about 15-20m one day and I don't think I could have done it on my own in a day.
I think the bigger issue is how you convince people to give those findings back to the system. Either you lie about what you're training on or you have to give people a stake in the benefits. For example, I still needed some level of expertise to track down my issue, so why should I publish that so Anthropic can train the next model on it and rent the knowledge back to me?
