> I hope that paid access to AI tools gives better results

You should get yourself a paid subscription. Honest advice. The difference between agentic workflow vs single-shot questions in free-tier services is night and day. Building context and letting the model have access to your code is the largest differentiator between "wtf, I don't need this" and "wtf".

> All that I see is that the AI systems outperform humans for various tasks only because they had access in their training data to much more information than most humans are allowed to access, because they do not have enough money to obtain such access

Humans cannot even theoretically read and consume the volume of data the models can do so it's not really about the money - it's more about the infinite amount of time humans would need to have and the extremely large cognitive load it would impose on them. How many people can even synthesize so much diverse topics at high and constant pace? None or very little.

Also, models are proven to generalize very well so having access to your codebase during the training phase is not necessary for them to provide you with the correct answers. Give it a try.

Models being able to generalize very well is one of the ways AI labs think they may reach the "AI systems will be better than any human at any cognitive task" goal. I am not convinced that this will be the only sauce needed but I am also not too skeptic about it too, given the speed at which AI capabilities unfolded, especially during the 2025.

I think we already reached the point where it's safe to say that "AI systems are better than many humans at most cognitive tasks". I can see it myself on the project I am currently working on. These are not the top-tier developers. And when I talk to the top-tier ones I have previously worked with, we share the similar sentiment. The only difference might be "AI systems are much faster than many humans at most congitive tasks".
