> If 10x more tokens saves a day, spend the tokens. The bottleneck is human decision-making time, not compute cost.
This seems entirely backwards. Why spend money to optimize something that _isn't_ the bottleneck?

For my whole life in technology, there was this thing called the Mythical Man Month: nine women cannot have a baby in a month. If you're Google, you can't just put a thousand software engineers on a product and wipe out a startup because you can only... build that product with seven or eight people. Once they've figured it out, they've got that lead.
That's not true with AI. If you have data and you have enough GPUs, you can solve almost any problem. It is magic. You can throw money at the problem. We've never had that in tech.So that only goes some distance and then you face new limitations.
If we take that to its logical conclusion, I think we can answer that question.
Getting rid of humans, unfortunately, also takes away their earnings and therefore their ability to purchase whatever product you are developing. The ultra rich can only purchase your product so often - hence better make it a subscription model.
So there is pressure on purchasing power versus earnings. Interesting to see what happens and why.
