To me the bigger point is, the nature of humans is they seek out signals of value, and we will rapidly hone in on whatever unique attributes still differentiate something from being AI generated and those will become what people value. Or to put it another way, no matter how good AI gets, "shit" will be redefined to that.

Already in posting here you have to actively avoid using language that could be mistaken for AI generated text or people instantly devalue your comment if not outright call you on it and try to have your account banned etc. It's not about the content of the comments - it's because they don't think AI content carries value.

Which is all to say IMHO a surprisingly large slab of the economy is going to resist AI automation, because people will instinctively reject anything that IS automated as low value (because it actually will be, in the long run).

It's usually drastically better than humans. Most humans can't code. If you are comparing it to specialists then you are already admitting they are on their way to replacing us.

The more I use them the more I draw this conclusion. Like we have given certain models an unbelievable amount of slack for bad output.

You heard AI powered scissors and thought that's where we're heading? I think you'd have to be totally divorced from the average person to believe this.

Meanwhile people are still begging car manufacturers to stop locking their glove box behind a touch screen. Or how about a TV that isn't loaded with crappy software that makes it unusable after 2 years. There's a reason we don't put tech in everything.
