I can, in principle, take someone from a group of uncontacted peoples, put them into New York and let them figure out how to drive and they likely will be able to do it after not too much time. We are not even close to any technology that could figure out driving having never been built for it.

Likewise, it's remarkable what a home DIY'er can do given a couple power tools and 5 minutes of YouTube watching.

The humans have probably been learning how to negotiate the physical world for a decade or more. Also humans have evolved to be good at that stuff. That self driving tech also has to be designed and trained is sort of a similar deal.

But that is irrelevant to the point of the article.

Maybe it takes 1 million hours of computing to train a model that can generate a logo, but an average human could have learned how to do that in just 50 hours of training with Photoshop.

The point of the article is that now for pennies users can generate logos in seconds that would have previously cost hundreds of dollars and days of back and forth with a designer.

This dynamic is going to flow through the economy
