Kind of reinforces the idea AI is going to lead to mediocrity in a lot of industries. I feel like our food, like the stuff at the grocery store is a great example. Our bread is made on a production line. It's good but not great. I feel like the real bummer is the option to get great bread tends to disappear overtime as everyone moves to the 80% solution and the training and economics needed for the artisan solution disappear.

I predict the cost to make an 80 percent solution will plummet, which is great for consumers.

Essentially, consumers now might pay X amount to get only a 40% solution (probably unusable and not something a company would even offer), but with AI, the same X gets you an 80% solution.

The price of >80% solution will remain the same, until AI improves.
