The Intuition Test: No Human Could Master Finger-by-Finger Robot Control Through an LLM
adam_karvonen · x · 2026-10-24
adamkarvonen offers an intuition experiment for his robotics skepticism: most humans could easily do pick-and-place with a gripper robot via an LLM interface, but he doubts any single human could become efficient and accurate at directly controlling a robot hand or humanoid through individual finger and wrist commands via an LLM interface — explaining why high-DOF dexterity is a poor fit for direct LLM control.
