Herbie Bradley: AI-solvable problems get competed away — branding beats Navier-Stokes
herbiebradley · x · 2026-09-23
In a debate with Will Depue and Louis Varge, Herbie Bradley lays out an economic argument about AI and value: even if humans co-exist with AI and "human situations" remain, interesting != valuable. Entrepreneurs solve problems that create value for others, and any problem solvable by AI will have that value competed away.
His illustration: right now, providing branding advice to a random midmarket industrial appliances company is worth significantly more real money than solving Navier-Stokes.
