The ability to use AI to accomplish tasks in days that would otherwise take years allows new types of entrepreneurship and innovation to flourish. I have already spoken to physicists and economists who are able to do much more focused research because AI serves as both a source of inspiration and a way of outsourcing time-consuming, pricey programming and grant-writing tasks. Perhaps AI companions will help us all achieve goals that were previously out of reach. And it is probably good that this is possible, because we are all likely to have more free time under this scenario.
