Often a machine can do a task better than a human. But economics being what it is, what may actually happen is that machines can do a worse job for a lot less money and for that reason the machines take over that task. People warned us about superintelligent machines taking over. What will actually happen is that almost every aspect of our lives will be dominated by machines less intelligent than humans.

@dpiponi@mathstodon.xyz True, you can observe this on many scales, eg viruses being outcompeted by fragments of these because they replicate faster.
