Humans aren’t the thing to optimise away.
I don’t believe people should be replaced by a machine or a robot. I believe they should be augmented. AI is a helper — it makes a good person better at their job; it doesn’t do the job for them. For almost everything that matters — judgement, taste, reading a room, knowing what a customer actually means — a person still performs far better than any model. That isn’t a gap to close. That’s how it should be.
