Serious take: The optimistic "AI will not replace humans for sophisticated reasonning problems, the best will be collaboration" has no rationale of any sort. If AI > Human, then \forall alpha > 0, AI > (1-alpha)*AI + alpha*Human

@francoisfleuret There's an argument from comparative advantage. If the energy available to AI is finite, it's rational to leave low-value tasks to humans so that AI could focus it's limited energy on more high-value tasks -- https://www.noahpinion.blog/p/plentiful-high-paying-jobs-in-the
