Yes, we have an infinite amount of knowledge work that needs done. But if AI is better at it than humans, we aren’t going to use humans.

We don’t use chimpanzees for any knowledge work today, even though they’d be better at it than some other animals.



I think the evidence that AI is better at knowledge work without a human in the loop... is very limited.

Humans with many agents will be more productive, but the tendency has been for these models is to regress to the mean when it comes to strategic insights.


So far, I think you're right. But the rate of progress just seems so crazy that I'm not seeing any moats that look fundamental. I hope I'm wrong and you're right.
