using how?
i'm kind of a boss and i wonder if people get offended when i ask them to do stuff, the same way i would be asking an llm. i think this is why people will be obsolete soon. because it's too socially awkward to ask them to do stuff, even if you're paying them it's still disrespectful when a machine can do it. also most of the time the llm does something even if it is low quality. while a person who doesn't know what to do takes hours of training.

not really, you can just ask people to do a shit job identifying traffic lights and motorcycles and they'll do it.
sounds like nonsense. i guess this works on some test environment but not in real life. you would never know that I am running tetris, for example
