The real challenge with AI helping experts is whether it can correctly help them balance their own value function for what "better" means. And whether we can still train human experts who can think about that independently with good judgement, if we've automated away the things that beginners would normally do to train their judgement with black boxes that they can't interrogate.
Will be interesting for sure.
Of course people still do some chores today even on days off, but it's a lot less than you need to do on a farm, ask basically any farmer.
The humans are still way worse than the Go programs. People are still willing to pay them to play a game as entertainment. Are lots of people willing to pay you to do whatever it is you do even when AIs do it much better, out of sheer entertainment value & sentimentality? If they are willing to pay you in particular, how many other people like you are they also willing to pay for, and is that number much greater than or much less than the current number paid to do it?
There are not many Usain Bolts out there: just one, as a matter of fact. Who is Usain Bolt #100? Or #1000?
And I note you still haven't answered my question. How many people are willing to pay you - who are not Usain Bolt - your current salary to watch you do whatever it is you do for sheer entertainment value for decades to come?
Well, with him being the world record holder, I'd assume he beat some americans too. And that they were not paid Kenya wages to go to that competition they lost to Bolt.

Not sure, but i think it can be done. There was a mention of someone doing live coding with a Patreon and all here on HN in the past few years :)
TBH I think that in a few years 'no AI' will become a badge of honour in arts and entertainment. Just like the 'handmade' clothing/furniture...
As for how many people can make a living out of it, most artists/entertainers starve by definition. Or are amateurs. I've certainly paid to do sports before.
It does hit its limits, but it's been so useful - it's a funny cycle of training AI and having it train us, a great symbiotic relationship.
