AI will absolutely work on value creation. But they’ll need steering. And once they do steering they’ll need cultural understanding. And once…
It’s like calculus. There’s always another derivative.
And there is no “we”. There are very few humans in the world who have a moat, where they’re the only human who can do it. And yet, we do fine. I don’t at all believe that value can only be created by those who can never be replaced.

Business is 5% steering and 95% production. Besides, I'm sure AI can do that well too. Cultural understanding is baked into the models already.
And yes humans can create value too, but like I said we are much more difficult to work with. An AI can work 24/7, doesn't need labour rights or health insurance, doesn't bitch about your policies on glassdoor or demand a pee break. And on top of that (and partly because of that) it'll be a lot cheaper, so why use humans at all?
It's clear its capabilities are ever expanding. Right now the human value is to tell the AI what to do. But that's something that's also based on external factors. I don't think there's some sacred guidance only a human can do.
I think it's a matter of time for it to be able to do all human intellectual work. And it can do so 24/7 without needing holidays or sick days.
We as humans won't really have a moat anymore, something only we can do.
