> The value of human thinking is going down.

Wrong. Creativity, innovation, intuition, taste - all forms of thought solely inherent to humans, all going up.

I used to agree completely, and a part of me still does. But the part of me that's scared that this isn't true is getting louder and louder.

I'm a novelist and software engineer. The value of one of those skills is trending to zero. I'm not seeing much to suggest, in the face of the hockey stick of doom, that the other isn't.

How do you define value?

I mean, if the demand remains the same and the supply goes stratospheric, the value has to go down.

After all, purchasers don't very well care that your product has creativity, etc and that that other identical product was just an AI cloning your product.
