Dude, you're buying into the hype way too hard. All of this LLM shit is being massively overhyped right now because investors are single-minded morons who only care about cashing out a ~year from now for triple what they put in. Look at the YCombinator batches, 90+% of them have some mention of AI in their pitch even if it's hilariously useless to have AI. You've got toothbrushes advertising AI features. It's a gold rush of people trying to get in on the hype while they still can, I guarantee you the strategy for 99% of the YCombinator AI batch is to get sold to M$ or Google for a billion bucks, not build anything sustainable or useful in any way.

It's a massive bubble, and things like these "benchmarks" are all part of the hype game. Is the tech cool and useful? For sure, but anyone trying to tell you this benchmark is in any way proof of AGI and will replace everyone is either an idiot or more likely has a vested interest in you believing them. OpenAI's whole marketing shtick is to scare people into thinking their next model is "too dangerous" to be released thus driving up hype, only to release it anyway and for it to fall flat on its face.

Also, if there's any jobs LLMs can replace right now, it's the useless managerial and C-suite, not the people doing the actual work. If these people weren't charlatans they'd be the first ones to go while pushing this on everyone else.
