koltregaskes argues that fast and accurate computer use is currently the biggest thing in AI — once comparable to a human, it could make a serious dent in the job market.
- With sufficient accuracy, a model could work beyond normal hours, with employees only reviewing results
- A single model could potentially handle multiple people's workloads
- The main cost for employers is tokens; if API pricing undercuts salaries, the shift could arrive quickly
- He adds that governments are clearly not ready for this disruption
