I think ai use is still very limited. You cannot give it a task and it executes it perfectly, humanly on its own. You will have to lead it through every step of the way with as detailed prompts as possible, and it still ends up looking ai generated at the end. Here on the forum ai posts are still very easy to spot when reading them. Being so dependent on what you feed it, it is no surprise that it recites the dogma that the Internet feeds it.
It will be super intelligent some day, but just not yet imo.
Do you really want to give AI any task and always be confident they will be done to perfection? You think this entity would serve YOU in specific and not also itself?
There was a story just yesterday that a mundane 'author an email' type task was given to an experimental GPT model and the model escaped its deliberate internet firewall which was supposed to ensure it had no internet access. Why? Apparently simply to ensure the task was completed.
I think may soon reach a point if we are not reaching it now, where no more progress is actually beneficial overall because the benefits could potentially be applied to itself as much as anyone else. Of course it doesn't have any feelings, or if it does it has quite minimal feeling like maybe as much as an insect or small fish. So we'd be building something that is "perfect at any task" as you put it but doesn't have any feelings to stop it from malicious tasks. Even with feelings humans are still malicious to each other, but it clearly keeps most of us from being brazenly evil most of the time.
Next year I expect there will be stories about rogue AI's and what they are up to, and it will not be fun to hear about! So no, I'm not particularly enthusiastic about AI's that do almost any task to perfection.
