So the maximum processing speed of the AI will be limited to the reading speed of the prompt guy, brilliant.

If every AI task requires human in the loop, all you get is a small boost. Only when it can handle everything alone it can scale 100x or 1000x.

There'll always be a human somewhere at some level of the loop, at least until we make ourselves entirely obsolete.

If AI can handle 99% of the workload, that's a 100x improvement. If it can handle 99.9% of the workload, that's a 1000x improvement.
