Intelligence Acts More Like a Leverage Amplifier

This reply further emphasizes that understanding model intelligence as an "amplification lever" is more accurate than viewing it as a "replacement for human capability." The author argues that this leverage has no obvious ceiling and won't hit a limit until it is scaled up by at least several orders of magnitude based on current capabilities. The core takeaway remains: the stronger the model, the more it amplifies a person's radius of action, rather than simply thinking for them.
