To expand on the analogy, what would a fully-self driving LLM look like? and would people even want that?

In most cases, I think the idea of AI that augments my own capabilities and helps me get things done more efficiently resonates more with me than AI that operates on its own on my behalf.

People are either getting extremely excited by LLMs or dismissing them outright. I think that there's a middle ground where they are very useful today--as level 2 automation tools. What do you think?
