How do you think that AI will create "abundance?" Are you thinking that it will somehow magically come up with solutions to climate change, war, corruption, the wealth gap, or any of the other ills that keep the majority of humanity scrambling to survive? Or do you just mean abundance for stockholders?

This hits hard.

I believe that because AI is learning human experiences, it will help with verifiable work.

Anything that can have outcomes or metrics well defined as true success criteria will enable AI to be able to help easier than other tasks (like writing). The easier the outcomes or metrics definition needed for success in a field, the better and faster we will see AI help in those fields.

The big example is coding.

Very little ‘magic’ seems necessary for those, rather a little less human-in-the-loop team sports with our future, and a little more feedback loop science.

Self-selected ignorance and scrambling seem both correlated and causative.

That said, SOTA machines can't run an office snack bar yet, so it'll be a minute before abundances other than caution.
