Everyone is judging AI based on the free tier of ChatGPT from last year.
They laugh when advanced voice modes can't figure out if you should drive or walk to the carwash.
But there is a much better way to look at this.
If you hand a terminal to state-of-the-art models like OpenAI Codex, it changes everything entirely.
These models have "peaky" capabilities right now, and the true goldmines are found in highly technical domains.
Here is exactly why coding is advancing so much faster than normal chat:
> Explicit Rewards: Domains like math and coding offer explicit reward functions.
> Easy Verification: They are easily amenable to reinforcement learning because you can verify the output instantly.
> Massive ROI: These use cases are prioritized by companies because they hold the most $$$ value.
> Autonomy: People using these tools professionally are watching them find and exploit vulnerabilities in computer systems autonomously.
Stop judging AI by how it talks.
Start watching what it builds.
