alt Hacker NewsAI will not help by improving extremely smart people. AI will help dumb people and dumb processes with "free" expert-level intelligence. Anyone could still ignore intelligence and make ignorant decisions. But the default mode would be highly intelligent informed decision.
Example with health - a patient can read blood test results with Opus and get very good results for "free". This is far away from helping extremely smart people, still it improves society from the ground up.
Why would they listen to an AI, when their favorite podcaster says something contrary?
I am not trying to be funny btw, people take medical advice from podcasters over doctors. I have seen this first hand.
