Funny how people only looks at the easy part, but not the cost part.

"I did it with AI" = "I did it with an army of CPU burning considerable resources and owned by a foreign company."

Give me an AI agent that I own and operate 100%, and the comparison will be fair. Otherwise it's not progress, but rather a theft at planetary scale.

If you want to play that game, you need to offer a fair comparison against the cost of "operating" the equivalent human being(s), measured in caloric input, waste output, etc.

Minimising the cost of “operating” humans means getting rid of humans. When human beings are not slaves and operate in a fair system, humans doing things is part humans living. Believe it or not, they may actually enjoy doing things; taking away the ability to do things we enjoy, and especially for compensation, is in fact harmful.
