There were a lot of things that only worked because there's a limit to the rate at which humans can operate. We're about to find out what all of them are, as they break.

Tweet by Paul Graham on things that only worked because humans operate at a limited rate, and which will break as AI removes that limit.

I don't think we get to GPT-7 without either a plateau in the technology or something fairly seismic happening. "Seismic" includes many subcategories, not all of them bad. But the present course of rapid AI advancements while society is ~basically the same is running on fumes.

This seismic change already exists in the system, from existing models. It just has not been realized yet (cost/implementation). Even if we somehow stopped completely today, what you describe will still happen.

Nate Silver tweet about the trajectory to GPT-7 requiring a plateau or something seismic, with a reply from Andrew Curran saying the seismic change already exists in current models.
