AI Is an Amplifier, Not a Talent Replacement

The core viewpoint of this repost is that the narrative of **"compute replacing talent"** is flawed. The human-machine collaboration phase will persist for some time, and human capabilities won't simply be leveled out. The author argues that AI acts more like a **non-linear amplifier**: it significantly magnifies human talent and judgment, thereby creating "exponential returns on human talent" rather than just bringing everyone to the same baseline.
