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?
