Isn't the AI problem the vast amount of resources needed to produce code?

    Compare the resources used to the alternatives.

    Unfortunately, we will never enjoy the fruits of prosperity, because our system is designed to squeeze first, ask questions later.

    Instead of being reduced, human misery will be redirected, and little will change.

    Text doesn't seem to be much of a resource hog, at least not compared to static images and video. For example, ChatGPT seems like it will go all day running text errands, though I've never dived too deep or for long. Want free pics? A handful a day, for now. Video? Only the most primitive options are free.
