I wrote an AI textbook—how long until AI can write one better?

After finishing an RLHF textbook, the author reflected that LLM progress in long-form nonfiction writing has stalled. Strong writing models such as GPT 4.5 and Kimi K2 already feel dated, while coding, math, and similar tasks are nearing superhuman levels. Models can fix typos and edit, but they are still disorganized and error-prone when structuring entire chapters, which the author believes prevents them from autonomously solving open scientific problems.
