This is the actual point of AI right? The point of AI, to tune and refine everything to be objectively better than humans in every possible respect, basically just to see what that looks like, and then potentially reap the economic benefits of this betterment ? I saw someone on here being excited about when robots can beat humans at soccer, I know we can do this, and I know this will happen, and I guess that's the point, we just want to see what happens. But I personally don't really understand the appeal. People play soccer to win, sure, but they also play for fun. Being funny is like this too, it's fun. Asking ChatGPT to write a joke for you doesn't seem fun.

If your job is to write jokes for a talk show then having AI do it sounds good (if you keep your job and its gets easier) or possibly bad if you are replaced by the machine.

  just to add some thoughts: if we look at it, unless we get AI cracking jokes to an other AI, in the end someone want to have jokes written to be heard by an audience on a show. Is this person the writer for the show, or will suddenly the CFO will fire the writer because it can generate some content with an LLM? It seems to me, this wont happen, we still need experts. Maybe the expectation of the economics will change. When excel or other spreadsheets came around, it did have an impact on the expectations from your accountant, because now no need to do the math on paper anymore, you can do more and more effectively, which lead over time to a renegotiation of the economics, but as far as I can tell, accountants haven't disappeared.

AI has been better than humans at chess for a while now, and chess is more popular than ever.
