@simon In the limit of "the LLM is as smart as the smartest human", you would still expect to need to give it the right kind of context and information to do what you want. Communication skills are super useful on both sides of the table.

Though I suppose somewhere along the way smarter LLMs will proactively recognize ambiguities and ask for clarification, which will lower the degree you which you need to be good at asking it to do something.
