> what was expected were humans replacements and what we got is human augmenters
The advantages of AI even without full human replacement are: volume, consistency, testability, cost, scalability and upgrade story. You can process more data, processing is more consistent as enforced by the model, you can test the model extensively, costs less, can handle sudden scaling and is easier to control the upgrade process when you want to update the system.
But even if the AI ability to remove the human in the loop is low today - that's not necessarily a bad thing. We need some time to adapt and transition as a society. If the transition is too fast, much more social displacement will happen. If we can match the automation rate to the natural job attrition rate then we can have a much smoother transition.
