I have no PhD in economics, but in IMO our brains as means of production still beat AI. Our neurons are fully optimised and don't need activation function tweaking. ChatGPT can talk the talk, but you can't show it a screenshot. It can't walk the walk.

Unfortunately there is always someone willing to do whatever any of us can do cheaper. With globalisation maximizing for cheap labor, low taxes, and high productivity has become easy. Politicians will play into these fears and go for protectionism. But in the long term that doesn't work.

Trying to do it outside corporations and governments is not feasible right now and is liable to be exploited. I mean, look at what OpenAI did to the open source community. But there's still hope. For instance more affordable small scale models like sentence transformers for example.

I see a future that groups of regular people, however they find eachother, will invest in training an ai model to accomplish a simple job very well, let’s say an automated call center. They can then be contracted by other companies who need customer service.

I like the idea of people having their own piece of the ai market because in most of human history our labor was a negotiation tool.
