Meta$^N$: Recursive Self-Improvement Through Emergent Depth

One thing I'd be extremely interested in is a system that can improve itself at specific tasks or types of task. For example, many of the available LLMs don't excel at the type of writing I like, and rather than having to curate thousands of examples of a very particular and extremely rare niche, it would be nice to be able to describe what I value about just a few examples, and let the model improve on its own until it reaches a competitive level.

I'm talking about a hypothetical future model that is somehow able to model the type of curiosity and drive to genuinely improve of some real people. I don't think we've achieved models being able to innately tell whether they've improved the same way a person can. I can tell whether I've improved at art, at writing, at production, etc. without needing to be graded by a higher authority. I'd still like to check in and let the model know if it's been getting it right, but I really hope this sort of mostly unsupervised learning happens within my lifetime, because it'd be really cool.
