Emad Mostaque says AI breakthroughs may already be happening in messy human-AI hybrids

The thread argues that “jaggedness” means some AI-first achievements may already be happening in a half-human, half-AI form.
- The example given is the first AI-generated New York Times bestselling novel: it may already exist in practice, but not be fully attributable to AI because humans still filled in gaps.
- The author says this pattern will likely persist across many domains, including math proofs.
- In other words, AI progress may show up as messy, hybrid outputs long before the field gets a clean, unmistakable “fully AI” milestone.
