Humans have more access to the real world. These models have to tokenize everything and put it into words, but so much information is outside of words. These models may well be super intelligent but their intelligence is locked inside of a cage (the tokenizer).

Even in the world where AI has full control of lights out factories (again, doubt it. something goes wrong at the factory, you gotta send a guy in), human beings still need to look each other in the eye and communicate, they need to touch each other. Not only that, they need to be seen and acknowledged by other human beings.

"AI" cannot ever replace this. People whose intelligence is their pride/identity kind of miss this. Stupid people are capable of loving each other more deeply and more completely than any machine ever will love them.

You basically just said people will be the janitors, the on-site fixers, and the personification of decisions and that they will still be able to live fulfilling lives in the real world. I think that is perfectly in line with what the parent wrote.
