      The thing to watch for isn't will AI write poetry people find beautiful. It is: how many jobs will it be "good enough" to replace?

      The Turing Test is of interest to philosophy. For employers, the bar is much lower. "Good enough to replace humans without pervasive error?"

      The "good enough" bar is being cleared in field after field, and the developments are feeding on themselves. Software building on itself.

      If I could introduce new tests & "laws": the "good enough" test for employment effects, and software/ML building on itself for development.

      I think the "good enough" effects will be quite widespread in about a decade. That's two-three presidential elections. That is soon.

          AI is also part of a long history of automating labor, plenty of evidence from past on what it’s effects will be.

          don't neglect the "good enough" effect's feedback loop for lowering its own bar; for example uber & their self-driving cars in SF.

          As the effect spreads, the greater the economic pressure to spread it. To make "not quite good enough" or even "dangerous" qualify as A-OK.

          IMO big factor is that “good enough” with computers/machines can be iterated to “good/great” over time. Error rates only decrease
