I've grown to believe the following more extreme (or maybe reasonable) version of what you said:
- A good lawyer with or without AI will likely win in court against a mediocre lawyer with AI
- A good SWE with or without AI will likely ship features faster/safer than a mediocre engineer with AI
- A good doctor with or without AI will save more lives than a mediocre doctor with AI.
I've experimented with this personally, stopping all my usage of AI coding tools for a time, including the autocomplete stuff. I by no means found myself barely treading water, soon to be overtaken by my cybernetically enhanced colleagues. In fact, quite the opposite, nothing really changed.
- A good doctor + AI will save more lives than a non doctor + AI, who will perform better than just AI
I find even entertaining the opposite conclusion comical. Think of, for example, a world acclaimed heart surgeon. Are people seriously entertaining the idea that a rando with some agentic AI setup could outperform such a surgeon in said field, saving more lives? Is this the level of delusion that some people are at now?
- freedomben 1y agoAs Doc Brown famously said, "I don't think you're thinking fourth-dimensionally." Current gen AI taking all the medical jobs is indeed laughable, but the amount of R&D going into AI right now is staggering and the progress has been rapid, with no signs of slowing down. 5 years from now things will be very different IMHO.
