The gap is important because of its special and devastating economic consequences. When the gap becomes truly zero, all human knowledge work is replaceable. From there, with robots, its a short step to all work is replaceable. I don’t know why statements like this are just taken as gospel fact. There are plenty of economic activities which do not disappear even if an AI can do them. Here’s one: I support certain arti…
Very few artists or aspiring artists make enough money from their art to make a living -- even now, when the average person has a job and at least some disposable money and can support artists. This % will not get higher if we get 1000x more artists, and 1000x less employed people working in the general economy. You can't get deep experience in any industry if there's a machine that can do the entry-level work for a…
As I said, not all types of jobs are set up this way. Pure knowledge ones, sure. But ones dependent on context are not going to have this elimination of entry-level work in the first place.
and we get 1000 robots for every person in the economy, they're in a better position than you to produce said valuable secret information.
Again, no, they aren't, because certain types of information are not merely a question of computational power.
There is this constant assumption that all knowledge is just a math problem to solve, ergo AI will eventually solve it. That isn't how information actually functions in the real world.
