Sometimes the involvement or effort from an actual human is part of the perceived value / willingness of the customer to pay.
- People will pay more to go to a concert performed by live human musicians than they would to listen to a recording or to go see an artificial performer (e.g. chuck e cheese?)
- A "handmade" product, or a "made in house" dish is valued above a mass-production or factory-frozen meal
- A therapist, doctor etc may be valued partly for their bedside manner or ability for form genuine rapport with a patient
- Even in AI _defining and measuring value_ ultimately comes from people. E.g. we wouldn't have the LLMs we do if there hadn't been teams of humans providing input to the RL.
