You're still setting a high standard here. What counts as a "well trained" human and how many SO commenters count as that? Also "easier to teach" is complicated. It takes decades for a human to become well trained, an LLM can be trained in weeks. And an individual computer that'll be running the LLM is "trained" in minutes, it just needs to load the model into memory. Once you have an LLM you can run as many instances of it as you want to spend money on.
Never said they would. I said they're as bad as they're ever going to be, which allows for the possibility that they don't get any better.
Even if they don't, though, they're still good enough to have killed Stack Overflow.
And humans also make mistakes. Do we know how to fix that yet?
Getting humans to do their work reliably is a whole science and lots of fields can achieve it
