Elon Musk revisited the human-machine bandwidth gap: machines may exchange information at terabits per second while humans manage only a few words at a time — "it's like talking to a tree."
The reposter adds the opposite problem: AI can generate ten pages in seconds when you wanted one useful sentence. As AI gets faster at talking, its ability to stay quiet becomes more valuable.
