Creative people were robbed silently
Frey and Osborne's famous 2013 paper listed creativity and social intelligence as the safe bottlenecks.
The reality:
The most creative and intelligent jobs are the easiest to replace with AI, not the hardest.
Here's why.
The work we call "genius" - writing, coding, designing, composing, analyzing law, diagnosing disease - happens entirely inside language and symbols. AI lives there. It has read everything we ever wrote.
For free π.
Humans spend 20 years and hundreds of thousands of dollars to learn a fraction of it. A machine scrapes it overnight at the cost of electricity. We thought we were building a library for humanity. We were actually building a training set for our replacement.
And the worst:
We overvalued what was scarce. For 100 years, high IQ and artistic talent were rare. Now intelligence is abundant and free. The price of "smart" is going to zero.
If thinking is free, what still has a price?
Proof of origin is everything π
