> LLM's now can capture intent.

Humans cannot capture intent so how can AI?

It is well established that understanding what someone meant by what they said is not a generally solvable problem, akin to the three body problem.

Note of course this doesn't mean you can't get good enough almost all of the time, but it in the context here that isn't good enough.

After all the entire Asimov story is about that inability to capture intent in the absolute sense.
