I have lots of questions here. I think there is more to AI than its macroeconomic effects. Are you concerned about increasing inequality, and the effects it may have? What about the effects of an increasingly reductionist (brought about by viewing AI as human equivalent) worldview on human dignity? I think there is substantially more to this question than "comparative advantage good." Regardless, thanks for the blog post. Always an enjoyable read.
