You do not turn your brain off.
You move the cognitive load from one set of problems you had to solve to another set of problems that can now occupy your attention.
Just like how once a calculator can perform all math operations for you, you stop calculating by hand and start focusing on a different part of the problem.
I’m sure there are a small sunset of people who automated their work and are playing video games, but the vast majority of AI users are working more and longer hours.
If you look at the history of the rise of new platforms you see an interesting trend:
1. A new platform comes alive, and the leading player appears to be the front runner in all the subsequent innovations sprouting from that platform
2. A whole host of new products and services not associated with the leading player appears anyway
They’re not stupid. At the end of the day a business is designed to do a few activities incredibly well, often to the detriment of other activities. Some businesses are so different from how you operate that you simply can’t get the organization to compete effectively.
And if you try to in too many diverse spaces you’ll dilute your advantage and allow an opening for a competitor to do what you’re doing but more focused.
We don’t know where that line for AI exists, though. So we’re going to have to go through a few iterations of startups to figure out where the lab’s advantage end and the rest of the market begins.
Bro, they have an 80% profit margin on API pricing.
Inference is incredibly profitable. In truth, your $200 a month is getting you $1,000 in inference, maybe.
Not to mention, there's going to be about a billion service providers trying to undercut them.
You're going to be swimming in tokens.
"you know what i'd really like?"
"tell me"
"a support agent"
"...we can do a support agent"
"a real agent, no low-effort AI bots, no outsourced indian firm"
"i'll get you a very good agent. single mom working in the midwest, clear communicator, can actually issue refunds"
I swear, some people have absolutely no theory of mind for one another.
The OP here clearly doesn't comprehend the idea that there are some people who do not want to go out and socialize and only did it for the purposes of fulfilling some greater goal.
How hard is it to understand that social commitments can suck ass for introverts? How hard is it to understand that staying home in your jammies with a glass of wine can be a fun evening?
It doesn't have to be your thing. You can decide you never want to do that. How hard is it to understand that it could be someone else's thing?

Wasn't there a Black Mirror episode akin to this?
I have an AI agent that logs every negative comment someone makes about me online.
It then creates a profile of the person, maps all of their social connections, and finds all their emails.
Tomorrow morning, my AI agent will sent out an email blast to everyone's extended social network, detailing the horrible things they've said about me.
There is no way this is real:
1. Everyone knows the value of a Rolex. It’s ubiquitous.
2. stores don’t store watches like this until they are ready for sale and will remove the stickers in front of you.
3. You’re saying that the rioters wouldn’t enjoy smashing this?
It always strikes me as odd when a gleeful consumer of:
- Social Media
- Smart Phones
- Internet
- Electricity, etc
Will then see the next big technology and just say “no, this is one step too far.”
I now have a much better understanding of how the Amish came about.

What a line.
