AI now beats human experts 83% of the time on GDPval, up from 12.4% — but what's left for humans?

Dan Shipper reflects on what's left for humans after automation:
- Using Fable 5.2 in the cracks of his week, he does work that once took five people and $200,000. Last week, between meetings, he analyzed a customer survey, built a game for his team, spotted a sales opportunity for @Every, built a CRM, and started outreach — raising the question: why would he need a team at all?
- On OpenAI's GDPval benchmark, AI went from beating human experts 12.4% of the time in 2024 to around 83% in 2026.
But the aggregate view misses something: extrapolating a trend line doesn't answer where individual human value lies.
