agreed. The problem is, often, when you can have "for free" something that is "good enough", you stop looking for better.

40 years ago, there was a market for:

  * newspapers

  * cameras

  * navigation tools

  * HiFi equipment

  * photographers, translators, etc

.. sure, there are still people with newspaper subscriptions, or DSLR cameras. But it's become a niche market. Those things have been replaced by your phone and a "free" service.

Same thing will happen for all the other markets that AI will gradually eat. Sure, you can find a human that can do better. But that costs 90$ / hour and requires finding someone, negotiating a contract, etc. But when people can do something good enough in 30 seconds with something they already have access to, and move on with their life, then that's what they'll do.

So just raising the floor will have a big effect on society.
