From an economics perspective, a more relevant comparison would be to the workers that a business would normally hire to do a particular job.
For example, for a copy-editing job, they probably wouldn't hire people who can't read all that well, and never mind what the national average is. Other jobs require different skills.
Life is a lot bigger than just economics.
See here for example: https://data.worldhappiness.report/chart
The US economy has never been richer, but overall happiness just keeps dropping. So they vote for populists. Do you think more AI will help?
I think it’s wiser to support improving education.
I don’t know whether it will or not. I seems like people are worrying about the economic impact of AI though?
