I haven't seen any output above mediocre - that is, compared to what a competent human in their skill can do There's a lot of value in that though, if you're not competent at the thing you need to do. For example, I saw a post on Twitter where someone had set up a GPT-powered letter writing tool for someone who wanted to run a business but had very poor writing skills. They would write a prompt like "I will be there on Monday", and the AI turned that into a well-written contact email confirming an appointment. Something doesn't have to be world class to be valuable. It just has to be better than you can do yourself.

This is a real good insight here. I have seen too many founders think they need world-class tech to create value. Perfectionism is your worst enemy if you want to provide value. A lot of companies are not build upon world-class top-notch things. Your (potential) customers are likely way behind in many aspects and in the end it only matters if it creates value for them. To expand on your argument. Even if you are competent in writing, these models can easily help you speed up your writing time. So you can either make the same amount of money with less time or you can spend your time on making even more money.
