Is improvement of disappearing tasks progress: When there is a possibility that 90% of the tasks T that people perform will disappear due to a certain technology X, is it considered “development” to increase the efficiency with which people perform task T by 10%?
Redistribution of human resources:. - The remaining 10% = work that requires creative and advanced thinking - Improving this efficiency is progress if the task is sustainable and important. - Complementary to, rather than replacing, traditional work methodsHuman hands are added for final quality assurance.
- Improved efficiency = improved quality
Symbiosis with Technology:.
- Remaining 10% = Improvement of human-technology interface
relevance - If you can’t do what an AI can’t do, you are considered less valuable than an AI.
