This reinforces the feeling I have that AI helpers aren't going to displace knowledge work, only enhance it.

If you can't describe what you want to a human you certainly can't do it to a computer. This seems like "google fu" to me.

Great post malisper! Glad to know that we have a long way to go before something like copilot makes developers obsolete. But I think it's not a question of if, the question is when. We're essentially automatons, just running on meat substrate, with constraints on power consumption and head size; so fundamentally there is no reason why can't implement our own brains in silicon. I resonate with Elon's quote "Humanity is the biological bootloader for digital super-intelligence" on this.
