For this category of problems, no, very unlike human beings.
Right.. plumbing in specific plugins for specific prompt forms feels like an expert system, rather than some general purpose intelligence. Also big picture its hard to see it as some sort of self-improving intelligence if humans are hand crafting these paths and tools for it.

What's interesting is that one one hand LLM pumps are claiming a path to AGI.. while on the other hand, they are duct-taping in deterministic plugins for specific prompt types they find it better to offload... In X years is it just going to be a thin OS-like layer where a majority of work is being handled by other "programs".
That doesn't seem very persuasive. The one example of a non-A GI we have, humans, does the same thing. We've been offloading arithmetic for at least 4000 years.

That's an interesting quote, because Feynman's superpower seemed to be his ability to visualize a difficult problem and make it parsable by mere mortals. I think he only scored ~135 on an IQ test (whatever that's worth).
Pity Feynman didn’t write a Distributed Systems textbook…
