Many people think “I will do […], AI will not anytime soon do [….] as well as I will.”  That may or may not be true.

But keep in mind many of us are locked into a competition for attention.  AI can beat you without competing against you in your task directly.  What AI produces simply might draw away lots of attention from what you hope to be producing.  Maybe looking Midjourney images, or chatting with GPT, will be more fun than reading your next column or book.  Maybe talking with your deceased cousin will grip you more than the marginal new podcast, and so on.

This competition can occur even in the physical world.  There will be many new, AI-generated and AI-supported projects, and they will bid for real resources.  How about “AI figures out cost-effective desalination and so many deserts are settled and built out”?  That will draw away resources from competing deployments, and your project will have to bid against that.

I hope it’s good.
