A comment on Horses: AI progress is steady. Human equivalence is sudden. Parent comment

AI is very satisfied in doing the job, just ask it.

AI is able to speed up the progress, to give more resources, to give the most important thing people have - time. The fact that these incredible gifts are misused (or used inefficiently) is not the problem of AI. This would be like complaining that the objective positive of increased food production is actually a negative, because people are getting fatter.

Imagine anthropomorphing this hard.

You misunderstood. This is how the conversation went:

1. Is there steady progress in AI?

2. What example do you need? In every single benchmark AI is getting better and better.

3. Job satisfaction and human flourishing.

Hence my answer "AI is very satisfied in doing the job, just ask it". It came about because of the stupid comment 3, which tried to link and put a blame on unrelatable things (akin to refering to obesity when asked what metrics make him say that agriculture/transportation have not made progress in the last 100 years) and at the same time anthropomorphed AI. I only accepted the premise and continued answering on the same level in order to demonstrate stupidity of their answer.

I could not care less about AI's satisfaction in anything
