<p>Each activity we engage in has different use, value, and subjective enjoyment to different people. Some people love knitting! Personally, I do know how to sew small tears, which is more than most people in the US these days.<p>Just because I utilize the services of others for some things does not mean that it should be expected I <i>want</i> to utilize the service of others for <i>all</i> things.<p>This is a preposterous generalization and exactly why I said the OP premise is laughable.<p>Further, you’ve shifted OP’s point from subjective enjoyment of an activity to getting “paid well” - this is an irrelevant tangent to whether “most” people in general would delegate work if they could.</p>

<p>>most of us would delegate our work code to somebody else or something else if we could.<p>Laughably narrow-minded projection of your own perspective on others.</p>

<p>This is interesting when you run it up the abstraction ladder.<p>What if we take this perspective from “knowledge of news topic of the day” and apply it to “knowledge of the virtue of commenting on a topic”. Are you qualified to actually speak on that subject? Am I? Maybe best not to say anything, since I’m not sure.</p>

<p>None of my comments say I’m demanding perfection. That’s a fallacy to reduce my position to absurdism, so it can be easily dismissed.<p>LLMs have not improved my productivity. When I have tried to use them, they have been a net negative. There are many other people who report a similar experience.</p>

<p>I’m tired of “Well people get things wrong, too.” as a defense of these systems. They should stand or fall on their own merit.<p>And yes, reducing everything in the world - nothing matters. Everything is relative. What even is truth, amirite?<p>If that’s our slogan for the future then it is hella depressing.</p>

<p>This doesn’t seem like a great way to reason about the predictions.<p>For something like this, saying “There is no evidence showing it” is a good enough refutation.<p>Counterpointing that “Well, there could be a lot of this going on, but it is in secret.” - that could be a justification for any kooky theory out there. Bigfoot, UFOs, ghosts. Maybe AI has already replaced all of us and we’re Cylons. Something we couldn’t know.<p>The predictions are specific enough that they are falsifiable, so they should stand or fall based on the clear material evidence supporting or contradicting them.</p>

<p>Note the market resolves by:<p>> Resolution will be via a poll of Manifold moderators. If they're split on the issue, with anywhere from 30% to 70% YES votes, it'll resolve to the proportion of YES votes.<p>So you should really read it as “Will >30% of Manifold moderators in 2027 think the ‘predictions seem to have been roughly correct up until that point’?”</p>
